The two feather buffalos are a die polishing event that has been elevated to the level of being collectable by grading companies recognizing them and making registry sets for them. They are not actual mint errors b/c it was die manipulation/polishing done to preserve the life of the die.

As time goes on more and more of these type of polished die results are becoming marketable and therefore collectable.

BTW - MikeV ... since posts cannot portray anything but words, I want to make sure you know this post is not trying to make a judgement about the Two Feather coins. Congratulations on finding something you like to collect 😊
