nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 02/26/2019 11:41 am Thanks for the grades. Looks like I need a better scope to photo steps. Coin in hand under a 10x loupe reveals 5 steps are present. Don't have my chart handy and can't recall if 6 steppers are known in 51-S. Report this Post to the Staff

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 02/26/2019 4:54 pm Steps are tough to capture. I'm still learning good photo techniques. Been reading and trying the tips others have posted. For example, here's another photo of the same coin, but under different lighting. This time it looks like 2 steps plus some fractions. I dug out an old PINC Sheet, at that time they had no record of a 51-S with 6 steps. Report this Post to the Staff
