Is this 66? Otherwise it cost more to slab than to buy.  |

No marks on the coin but some spotting on the obverse. Definitely not FS from the pic of the reverse.

I'll say MS-65. I don't know enough about Jefferson nickels to venture a guess on whether it would qualify as a "full stepper". |

MS66 FS I do see some rim nicks but I'm thinking it slipped by ANACS on this nickle.

It's graded MS65 5.5 Steps... but I think it is a solid MS66 5 FS coin. I think it looks better in hand as well and it has tons of luster. It was an impulse buy since I like the look of the coin. I was a bit worried what that little nick in the steps would be like in hand but it is greatly enhanced by the light and you have to study it under mag to find it. I will likely de-slab it and keep it as raw. I may be strange, but I enjoy pulling out favorite coins from time to time and getting lost in them with my loupe. $12.50 for a few cheap thrills over the years.   |

Is the second step under the 3rd pillar a complete step? Difficult to say from the picture. Could also just be the way the light hit the steps when you took the picture.

Yes, it is full by any definition... very clear.
