1919-S Two Feathers?

I bought a large lot of cull Buffalo nickels to sort through and found this.

Am I correct that this is the FS-401 Two Feathers variety? The date isn't visible but the reverse looks like the reverse of 1919 (specifically around E Pluribus Unum).

Lowball of the week: Standing Liberty

Type 1 is very easy to date even without a date due to the reverse design (no stars under the eagle). Obverse features differentiate 1916 from 1917.

Of course an overlooked 1916 from a junk silver bin would be the ideal Type 1 candidate, 1917 is more achievable for this type.

Not intended as a political statement

I already had this Jan 6th counterstamp made to use on Independence Day quarters (as a joke, in place of the 4th privy), before they announced they were also putting the 4th mark on these dollars.

I just had to try it to see how it looks!

Early American dryer coin

Some have asked about very worn coins and odd wear patterns--these are known as "dryer coins". They get stuck in a clothes dryer and become worn out.

This photo illustrates how this coin probably accumulated its weathering and wear by getting stuck on an early clothes dryer.

Lowball of the day: 1795 Cent

I'm slowly building my lowball type set. This one recently returned from PCGS and filled my slot for Liberty Cap Cent (denticled border).

I wonder how much bread, cheese, and ale this has purchased through the centuries? 🤔

Rotated die

Found this roll hunting today.

I put it in a (badly) marked up flip so I could try to understand how much rotation there is. Is this outside of mint tolerance?

Finally trying out the perch

This guy has been using my feeder for weeks, but always stays airborne. This video catches the first time he felt comfortable enough to try out the perch!

The video I got after this he was sitting again, so I think he likes it

Dang it

Finally got a Loomis box with all new quarters and they're not Declaration of Independence. Box is stamped July 14
