I have what I think is a 1925 2 Feather Buffalo Nickel. Check the attached Photos. Look at the mint mark photo to give your opinion as to a D or S mark. I am leaning toward a D that has some PMD. It does make some difference in value depending on the mark. Any comments welcomed. Randy aka Tex Star
It appears worn to the point it may not matter either way. In my view If it is that hard to distinguish what it is there may be low buyer interest in it. I don't think it is a standout year, and am not familiar with the 2 feathered variety. I've heard tell of the 3 legged , over polished die specimens so good luck. Hope you get some good news.
The two feather varieties are also the result of over polishing of the dies. Some are now being listed in various price guides and they do carry a premium but this one is going to be tough unless a bit of Nik-A-Date or white vinegar is used to raise the mint mark better. I can't make it out due to the wear. It could be used as an example but in this condition, not much added value. There are many years this happened aside from those more popular being listed.
Two feather varieties can be found in many years for the Buffalo nickel and seldom demand much of a premium, but nice to add to a collection. Here are two different years I own. As for the MM, it really doesn't matter. Just an over polished die used beyond its time.
Actually your 1918 is listed in NN price guide at $40.00 in Good and $200.00 in Fine. The 1919 is not listed.
The 1925 Buffalo Nickel has both a D and S Two feather variety. Check out this link:https://www.pcgs.com/news/scarce-two-feathers-buffalo-nickels
