Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/11/2017 4:31 pm A dead-sharp close up of the steps would help. But beyond that, the coin has issues and may well not even be uncirculated. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff

To my eye, with some significant experience in this series ... this coin is AU at best. Perhaps it's your photographs in the 2x2 (remove the coin next time) ... but I do not see a full step example yet alone an MS coin. Agree with moxking ... save your grading money as this one would likely disappoint. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

BmTrif6186 Valued Member 71 Posts	Posted 12/12/2017 11:46 am Thanks again for great feedback... Based on the AU grading how much does the Full Steps representation matter when determining its value? I could probably get a better close up to help determine that if I take it out of the holder!! But if it's insignificant at this grade I won't waste my time... lmk, ty Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 12/12/2017 2:13 pm I would say it would be insignificant ,like Mark says the 40-P's are common in full steps . So yours in AU with possible FS would only have a minimal value . Report this Post to the Staff
