Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/21/2022 4:16 pm Here's a video from PCGS on the 'Full Steps' designation that I find quite helpful! Full Steps info starts at about 1:10 minute mark. ANs5TLZYH7w 96s ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 08/21/2022 4:19 pm it does look FS, per Q David Bowers the hits don't change the strike quality that FS designates, but those hits do lower the grade enough to make it less appealing to collectors, I'd keep searching for a better example Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 08/21/2022 9:48 pm The firsts to say the hits do not downgrade FS was Ken Potter and Jeff W. And is true. In your case the first step it is in cause in the middle. I am sorry. Was nice to be because the majority do not has those nice sides like you has. Report this Post to the Staff
NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2281 Posts	Posted 08/21/2022 11:19 pm I was taught these can still be FS with some flat spots, interruptions and contact marks. You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Edited by NumismaticsFTW 08/21/2022 11:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
