kdrcoinzz Valued Member United States 281 Posts	Posted 08/08/2015 08:43 am I have 4 in question total, I didn't see a reason to make 4 separate threads. the first two are RPM questions and the second two are full steps, or lack there of. coin 1- 1964 D RPM coin 2- 1961 D RPM Coin 3 & 4- 1976 D Full Steps Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 08/08/2015 10:36 am 1964 D looks normal but maybe a touch of MD at the top (flat/shelf-like) 1961 D looks like it may have a split lower serif or a hit at that location 1976 D showing near-full and full steps with contact marks All appear to be nice specimens. The 1976 D specimens are hard to find in circulation; anything in the 70s really. I'd be happy with either one since the right side of the stairs tends to be worn away on coins of that date. Not sure if you had questions or looking for confirmation. The pros will be by to offer a verdict if that's the case. Bottom line: nice coins! Report this Post to the Staff
kdrcoinzz Valued Member United States 281 Posts	Posted 08/08/2015 10:41 am Yeah I was looking for conformation. I'm putting together a lot to send off and was wondering if I should include these. Will they get full steps attribution with the contact mark? That's really my main concern Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 08/08/2015 11:48 am Contact marks on the stairs shouldn't alter FS assignment, as long as their is no indication that the mark hides potential weakness in strike, which this one does not. Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 08/08/2015 12:32 pm Your last 2 nickels are not full steps. I believe a cut separating the step lines will squash the full step designation. Report this Post to the Staff
profiler Valued Member United States 144 Posts	Posted 08/08/2015 1:00 pm Agree with T-Bop. The PCGS Official Guide to Coin Grading and Counterfeit Detection states, in part: "Any major disturbance or interruption of these steps or lines, whether caused by contact, planchet problems, or another source, will result in the coin's not being designated FS. Only the slightest weakness on any step (line) is allowed for this designation." Report this Post to the Staff
