Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6463 Posts	Posted 12/28/2024 7:03 pm I found this 1940 nickel in my usual $20 from the credit union. Lightly circulated, but worthy of note for the full steps. Where has this Jeff been tucked away for the last 84 years? It doesn't take long for the full steps to wear off.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6463 Posts	Posted 12/28/2024 8:03 pm Yeah, 5FS. Finding a 6FS out of circulation seems very unlikely, especially pre-1990. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/29/2024 3:18 pm So are certain years/MMs considered "Full Steps" with 5 steps, while others require 6? Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6463 Posts	Posted 12/29/2024 5:16 pm Books like Bowers' have two categories. I believe PCGS will attribute 5FS as Full Steps. NGC will label with 5FS or 6FS specifically. Report this Post to the Staff
