Those steps look nice but more enlarged close up photos are needed to for proper evaluation .

If you can get a much closer close up on the steps, that would be great.

They have a chance but that's about the best that can be told

From those pics they both appear to have a mark cutting across a step or two. Ergo I think not FS.

 however that is based on these pics. If you post some more than a more refined assessment can be made.

And the fact is, the newer issues are ALL mostly FS when first minted. Once a coin enters circulation, bag contacts and machine sorting/wrapping beat it to death quickly. Finding VALUABLE FS's come in coins prior to the single-squeeze method of the 90's, this is when the Monticello side became the anvil dies...

I think the first might have a chance becuse I thik that bad contact mark just misses the steps, bu the second has a mark bridging the steps below the second column and it looks like there may not be complete separation between a couple of the upper steps under column 4.

I have to agree No Full Steps Contact Marks are seen in the Lower steps

You're going to want to look for FS on any nickel pre-1987.

Close but still not worth a million dollars.
