nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 12/27/2022 6:18 pm steps look a little weak in places, so I assume they become more defined in hand when rotating the coin through various angles Report this Post to the Staff

sirguardian Valued Member United States 354 Posts	Posted 12/27/2022 6:27 pm But I read that the definition for FS is a s follows: Complete steps without mare or interruption. Now I have to go back and look again. Not important, just trying to "swim" through the sea of information. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95075 Posts	Posted 12/27/2022 8:17 pm That would be a NGC slab. right? and I'm really not seeing 5FS here, a 4FS at most - unless they are counting the very top where the columns are as well.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15395 Posts	Posted 12/28/2022 05:01 am Photos are too weak for me to say for sure. You have the coin in hand - are all of those step lines fully defined all the way across? Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
luvmyCAM Pillar of the Community United States 1479 Posts	Posted 12/28/2022 12:55 pm I see 5 full steps and looks like the grader saw them also. PCGS doesn't make a habit of giving 5 FS designations on sliders. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/28/2022 1:00 pm The BU 1950-D nickels were saved in rolls as they knew the mintage was going to be low that year. So there are a lot of these nice nickels available. Report this Post to the Staff
sirguardian Valued Member United States 354 Posts	Posted 12/29/2022 3:15 pm Thanks all... I leave this one "still scratching my head" but it's on to other things now.. Report this Post to the Staff
sirguardian Valued Member United States 354 Posts	Posted 12/29/2022 3:23 pm Dearborn: Yes, NGC holder. I wonder if they count the 5th step that starts on one end and stops on the other end. This is a 4 step to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 08:15 am I was told when trying to determine FS to "row your boat." Look down the rows of steps from one end. It is a little easier to make the determination and see any interruptions in the steps. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
