Many people do Fenton. I sure as heck don't, it took 2 months of dedicated searching to find an MS67FS War Nickel that was actually FS and actually 67.

It is nice to know that here there are people willing to give their opinion on what they believe a coin should be graded. The best advice I was given was, before any coin is purchased via an online market venue; find out what their return policy is. If you are able to put the coin in your hand and see with your own eyes I'd say, if you buy it....its yours.

Apparently NGC's definition of 5FS is that any vertical slice has 5 full steps. PCGS however requires the entire line to be unbroken. Would be nice if these TPG's could have a consistent definition.

Most TPGs aren't even consistent with their own standards.

I have seen coins with less than 2 steps get the FS designation from PCGS.

Either these TPGs can't properly attribute/grade full steps, or they can, and they just pick and choose when to give them out. I have seen nickels that should of gotten a full steps designation come back without one.
Rest in Peace

I agree, people just don't get that they're wasting their money on slabbed coins because of what the label says.
