nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 01/07/2007 4:45 pm Anyone Care to comment. Is this coin full step or not..... http://www.coincommunity.org/galler.../72steps.jpg Edited by nohope587 01/07/2007 4:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/07/2007 5:23 pm Without question, IMO. There is only the one faint area on the center step, near the 3d pillar, to cause caution. Is that a Business Strike? Report this Post to the Staff
nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 01/07/2007 6:32 pm Nope its not a business strike. Its a Proof and I was not aware of a full step designation for proof coins but Some one wanted to know if one of the coins I was selling on ebay was full step. Hopefully he will be able to tell from the Picture. I have looked at the coin through a 20x loop and the mark on by the third pillar is just a change in the metal colour an impurity in the alloy would be my guess. Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 01/07/2007 6:41 pm There is no FS designation for proof coins,, to avoid problems it maybe a good Idea to enforce the fact that the coin is a proof in your communication with the bidder. Rick Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/07/2007 8:09 pm Were there enough non-FS Proofs released to make this a valid question? Report this Post to the Staff
nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 01/07/2007 8:13 pm I don't think its a valid Question. After all we are talking about a PR69 coin here and I am sure PCGS would not have given it a PR69 rating if it had Damage to the steps. I have seen some older proofs that were not full steps but this has usually been reflected in the grade. I am Assuming the question was asked in ignorance... Report this Post to the Staff
