Coinindrum Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 01/11/2020 4:43 pm I would appreciate clearifing a newbee question about full steps I have a uncirculated 1960D Jefferson that I need to get a better magniing glass for pictures , it appears to be full steps at one end then fades out at the last 2/3 and ends up showing only top two steps . I understand it is next to impossible for that year to get full steps, but brought to my mind the question of full steps. Does the term mean the full length or can there be full steps partial? Thanks for clearifing * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 01/11/2020 7:26 pm A lot of guys think they have an older date FS Nickel but it turns out that one or more steps has a hit or something else that interrupts it . A nice strong reverse strike is essential for any attempt at a FS designation . Report this Post to the Staff
