I just finished my paper on the subject of the full step designations of Jefferson nickels. I get back behind the days of PAK, and bring a clearer realization to light. The paper is a 12 MB PDF file. It has lots of images and it is recommended that you view or print it in color. It is freely available. Since it is 12 MB I posted it on my website, here is the link:

I haven't read it yet, but I will. I like and have purchase full step nickels, but feel it gets confusing at times knowing what is and what's not considered full steps. Any clarity on. the topic will be appreciated.

btw, what is PAK?

PAK is the first initials of the first names of 3 gentlemen who started A full step nickel coin club, in 1971 in Montclair, New Jersey. Their names were Aldolf Weiss, Philip Petrillo, and the "K" being Karl Nenninger. This information is per Nagengast's self published book - "The Jefferson nickel Analyst". I think it lasted to about 1986, with assistance of Rich and Sue Sisti. It had about 1,000 members. Today there is a group in California, headed by Darryl Crane. The Full Step Nickel Club, FSNC. I suspect that most of these club members and the TPGs will not welcome my suggestions contained in my paper. That is no problem for me. I will continue to collect!

I agree with your thinking Gary; taking a step and using a step are different things. A lawn is a lawn, a deck a deck. To get from one to the other, you take steps using the steps.

Works for me.

Today, September 13, 2015, I updated this PDF file, as I needed to include designations of full step nickels which only have one or two FULL steps. It has been updated. Link in in the original post.
