The OP coin looks like 4 1/2 steps.

exactly smat45. thats one that should be FS.

the only jeffersons I collected were the ones I pulled from circulation other than 1 50D is purchased to finish the book. if I was buying a FS coin I would not look at the slab grade I would grade the coin which is what you should do for all slabbed coins regardless.

That is a fine idea in theory, but most auction sites do not photograph the slabbed coins with enough precision to evaluate the details yourself. Do you buy most of your coins in person?

There are some good videos on u tube on how to look at this coin. Has anyone tried and have this coin sent to PCGS? I have an account with them, but the paperwork and online submission is confusing. I couldn't find how to identify the coin.

That was my coin that I sent to NGC because they offer 5FS and 6FS designations.
That "should" have easily been 5FS...but they graded it 66+ "only".
I have just been sooooo fed up with TPG's and their decisions on FS FBL FB...I just say Full them!
I was so embarrassed when I sent a couple of coins in for a friend and they did not designate the Mercury dimes FBL's...I bought them off them for the FB price.
I'm just done with the inconsistencies!
Done ranting...

First, welcome to CCF
If I need advise or any kind of numismatic help and or reference I seek advise from reliable sources and experts either on their established website archives or best yet get the advise from Coin Community Family. Youtube is the last source I would even consider.
