Two Feather Buffalo Rarity List

Thanks for posting this, I was curious about that. And yes, 1923 definitely seems like the hardest one to find, would really like to see more pictures of that one, besides the one great high grade example on PCGS

Here's my 1923 two feather. I acquired it sometime in the last year+ from a bulk lot of buffalo's. All my two feathers but one have come from bulk lots.

Hi Jadenusa, thanks so much for posting these pictures of your 1923 2F, that is wonderful to see and a really amazing find.

Very nice, tough find for sure!

Yes, there seems to be so few of the slabbed 1923 2F variety. I see PCGS only has 3 in the population reports.

Does anyone know if NGC has similar population reports like PCGS on the varieties? Curious how many they have slabbed.

Also, I haven't seen a record of sale on an attributed 1923 2F so would also be curious if others know or are aware of any past sales.

Thanks

Acetone scares me as I've never used it to clean coins before. I fear it would come back 'cleaned' on a slab, but it looks like that's not the case. I found a 5 page thread here on the topic, I will read it through and maybe do some test soaks today. Ace hardware or a paint store a good location for the acetone or should I go more scientific supply co?
@Ty2020b I'll keep you in mind :-)

To me, the only scary thing about acetone is its highly flammable nature, and the fumes can be disconcerting. It comes in a fairly large can that's clumsy to revisit when working with coins, and much of the liquid quickly evaporates. Here's what I did with the last can I bought some years ago now ....

The Mrs. & I periodically enjoy a Cracker Barrel breakfast. Their buttermilk pancakes are especially good, and their maple syrup comes in little, heavy-glass bottles. I'd saved a number of those emptied bottles and carefully funneled the canned acetone into them (did that outdoors). I'd removed the original labels and stuck on my own labels. The thick plastic caps conveniently and tightly screw back on. The small bottles are easy to work from, and a Q-tip is easily dipped therein.

I store acetone similar to ExoGuy. Buying the large can is cheapest, while you can refill convienent containers. I use a nail polish remover bottle, and refill when empty. The ergonomic shape allows for a quick q-tip dip, or spill-free pouring into other jars for long term soaking. You can buy a bottle of 100% acetone nail polish remover and use the container, so you know for a fact the container won't be affected by the acetone.
