i was looking in the book and it says that the 2006-P "boldly detailed tail feathers" was worth $500 in ms-65.
how can you tell if a dollar is this or not?

Are you sure you read that right? Ive never heard of a 2006 with enhanced tail feathers. I've only heard of that occuring in 2000. The difference between the standard and the variety for 2000 is kinda hard to explain and you need an eye loupe.
The variety has a middle very obvious center feather that sits higher than the rest of the feathers on the tail;the middle tail feather on the standard is on the same plane as the rest. On the variety the feathers have veins shaped like the letter V in much the same way as a real feather would look;the standard just has lines outlining the edges of each feather and doesn't have the Vs. This variety is actually considered a pattern. Mintage figure of this variety is 5,000ish.
What book and what page did you read this on? I more than likely have it. Reread it and let me know if it is the 2006 coin because it will be news to me
