Ondiwave Valued Member United States 275 Posts	Posted 04/30/2024 8:36 pm Hey! So I've had this in my collection for a little bit, since getting it in pocket change. .. and I had a couple questions. It's obviously been "Living its best life out in the wild", but considering it is in good shape. IMVHO Questions: Would it be considered FS or does the PMD nick ruin that? LDS or slight doubling (obv) * Keep in collection or release into the wild? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19112 Posts	Posted 04/30/2024 8:49 pm In my opinion, not full steps. I'm seeing evidence of Die Deterioration. Suggest keeping it as an album hole filler. If you have better '57 examples, you could release this one. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 04/30/2024 9:33 pm it has lots of steps, but none of them are continuous from side to side. a bit of DDD But overall, a nice coin to keep in the collection Collecting since 1972.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10029 Posts	Posted 05/01/2024 08:42 am I know someplace here Coop has a graphics showing how inconsistent the FS designation can be. Since grading is subjective, the companies are not consistent. See the essay in my signature for an real eye opener on grading company misattribution of varieties. An over 30% error rate (that is being generous) on (very simple) No FG Kennedy half dollar slabbed coins. All data is linked to the PCGS website for verification. The FS designation is another marketing device the companies can charge a fee for. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
