Jbedwell Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 04/08/2017 9:36 pm I might be reaching but need you opinion. Is this a FS or just a nice nickel. Tried to take good pics but did not turn out great Report this Post to the Staff

Oijogja Pillar of the Community United States 715 Posts	Posted 04/08/2017 11:02 pm Hey Jbedwell, it's pretty hard to tell, but I am leaning towards not full steps. It's certainly a nice looking nickel at least. The folks in the modern grading subforum may be able to give you more input. Report this Post to the Staff

fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 04/09/2017 10:15 am Sadly, I think not. Curious that you just ran across this. In the past week, I've found similar '62D,'63 & '65. The 61D is tied for 3rd, as the most difficult to run across. Less than a handful have been graded 65FS. I dont recall the Philly version. Report this Post to the Staff
