I recommend that you look up some random nickel years on PCGS, then click the Full Steps tab. A proof nickel is going to be perfect, but in practice the TPG companies have some wiggle room for business strike nickels.
Incidentally, you can find a lot of perfect full steps 1999 nickels in circulation. That one has some nicks and damage.
