I endlessly mock both PCGS and NGC when it comes to FS nickels. What they call FS is actually 5 Steps, and what they call 5 Steps is 4-4.5 at best.

FS can look like that when the photo is too small or too low res, like this one.

to the CCF!

I went to the PCGS page and pulled up this coin. In a detailed shot this coin has much stronger steps than in the original image above. While I still question the FS designation, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. In hand, the coin may show even more detail. Below is a more detailed image of the same coin.

Yes, I have seen MANY coins listed on PCGS as Full Step that seem to be over graded, but this is something that's really difficult to show in a 'JPG' image on a web page.

*Sorry, I missed a digit on the image. It should read 16024445.

Looks like one full blob to me. The photos are, well, terrible.

The second step looks fairly complete.

the photo shown does not show Full Steps . I believe to attribute FS the photographer needs to take very close up and large pics of just the steps along with full photos of both sides of said coin .

I'm not seeing this as an FS coin. Always buy the coin, not the holder.

If you looked at the full TVs then you should know they aren't FS. The steps aren't sharp, full and uninterrupted, not in a million years. They are soft, grainy and have a large mark spanning all of them. Step 6 basically doesn't exist, and steps 1-5 are a blob for the entire right side.
