kookoox10 Pillar of the Community United States 1054 Posts	Posted 04/12/2016 8:28 pm For the example shown, not quite full steps. Minus the nicks, there's a good deal of weakness on the lower 2-3 steps., Report this Post to the Staff
Cleatis87 Valued Member United States 125 Posts	Posted 04/12/2016 8:31 pm I do not think so. To be Full Steps the lines have to be well defined along the full horizontal distance without interruption due to either bag marks/nicks and/or worn smooth from over-polished dies (I think the minimum needed is 5 steps). As you can see under one of the pillars, steps #4,5 are worn smooth with step 6 barely visible along entire distance. Report this Post to the Staff
