I found another 1940 D nickel that in my opinion, looks like it has full steps. There are a few stains on the obverse, but still a good looking example. I also have a real nice 1946 D with great looking steps that I'll post later.. Just wanted to share and get your thoughts. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 107472 Posts	Posted 08/19/2025 8:08 pm could be, that scratch goes through multiple steps, but does it take away from a full step designation? Collecting since 1972.

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10601 Posts	Posted 08/19/2025 9:40 pm Wow - Most likely a "Full Step" with a Die Deterioration Strike! How crazy is that? Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7343 Posts	Posted 08/20/2025 12:58 am I've seen many slabbed FS that were in worse shape...I'd give this a FS designation. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15933 Posts	Posted 08/20/2025 04:05 am IMO the TPG are so inconsistent in how they apply a FS designation that it's really guesswork how this coin would be viewed. Despite the scratch across multiple steps (above the C & E) I say this would be considered full steps. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6903 Posts	Posted 08/20/2025 1:02 pm Outstanding steps! Obviously that Reverse of 1940 is still super sharp. I would go so far as to predict that ANACS and NGC would grade this 6FS. That's assuming that the rest of the coin graded MS and not AU. Overall a great find, congrats. =) Report this Post to the Staff
