It is now confirmed:
The world is full of people who are lacking in mental faculties and what we call "common sense".
Personally, I don't give much credence to superlatives such as FSB, FBL and FS. I have a lot of FS nickels and most of them are proofs.
Speaking of nickels, the steps are not the only full/partial design elements to find depending on strike strength. Maybe we could add Full Columns, as well, or Full Door. I get that these designations indicate strike quality, but they are all in areas that are significantly susceptible to a weak strike because of the designs and coin thickness.
By the way, the weakness often seen on LMCs in STATES OF and EPU on the reverse is due to a weak strike caused by the shoulder area of the Lincoln bust opposite those devices. I see it often described as Struck Through Grease, but I've seen way too many that are nearly exact matches for it to be grease.
