I found another 1944 D nickel with a great looking set of steps. I was "advised" here on CCF that a1944 P or D nickel with full steps is not hard to find, but I would really appreciate your opinion on this one so I can get an idea of grading. Thanks for your time and help.

I just wish there was a set grading diagram that the TPG's would use. They seem to be all over the place with their gradings of FS nickels though.
This seems to be about the best diagram I could find to use.........

So according the the diagram I'd be worried if step 5 would qualify as "Full".............

For the grade, I'll say MS-65.

Thanks E&V... I think it all comes down to individual opinion when trying to grade or determine FS nickels. Overall, I believe this one is a nice example.

Nice MS-65 but step 5 not complete.
