1954 Proof Washington 25c - Hand-Engraved Tail feathers

Hello all!

Has anyone ever seen a 1954 Proof Washington quartet with hand-engraved tail feathers? I am well aware of the 1952 and 1953, but have never seen a mention anywhere about a 1954 variety. But will going through some proof sets I am selling for a family friend, I found a 1954 that appears to have hand-engraved tail feathers very similar to ones I have seen on the 1952 variety. What do you guys think? If they are, is this a known variety?

Totally flippin' clueless. Cite a source..........

 

I believe it's called the Superbird Variety.

 

I'd like to see a comparison 54 reverse. Because I am a lazy shut in typing with my feet.

 

Citation?

 

Thanks for the reply...the Superbird was on the 1952 Proof with and without the hand-engraved tail feathers.

 

Source, you wretched creatures........

 

Here's my other 1954

 

Still, nary a source for this so called variety.

 

Sorry, I'm new here...what source should I be citing? I'm asking about a coin I have in hand that I can't find anything on the internet for.

 

Another angle

 

You mentioned 'hand engraved'. Where did that come from?

Finally............Thank you Hommer.

 

Thankyou........) Citations are most appreciated, my friend. They contribute to my education.

 

Sorry for the issue, I'll make sure it doesn't happen again. ;-)

 

No, no.........no harm, no foul. Please accept my apologies for not believing you. Citations are most important.

 

I see the potential hand engraved feathers but I do not see the S on the birds chest.
SuperBird FS-901 was only on 52, if Im reading it right this is 54, afterwards the mint removed the employees foul play.

 

That's the 52 proof ..
