I really wish the TPG's would strictly follow their own criteria for the FS designation, especially when we are often talking substantial premiums in value. That said, I think that even Ray Charles would agree that this is not FS. |

MS-63 and does not look FS to me. But who knows what PCGS sees as FS now.

@Coinfrog: "no opinion on steps anymore!" No kidding! Winning the lottery seems easier than guessing the FS designation anymore  |

MS63 possible 64. step 5 is not complete. should not be FS but  . observation - to me it seems that they are looking at the step definition so long as the step is complete they are for the most part ignoring marks that disturb any of them. I guess we will see how they assessed this one. Probably blow my theory out of the water |

Just adopt a poker mindset. It makes much more sense when you stop playing the cards and start playing the player.

All three are rare in 5FS and if I can get one to hit...might be worth the gamble http://goccf.com/t/459446&whichpage=2#3996555 |

Well, at least PCGS shows the results in TrueView. Before taking any gamble, I would check the full steps nickels for that year, and see if the TPG is generous for that year. It seems to vary a lot. They seem to be pretty tough for certain years. |

That is a ridiculous FS designation by PCGS. Concur with the general opinions stated here that the wizards at PCGS simply do not follow their own guidelines for FS designation.
