Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6473 Posts	Posted 02/21/2025 11:53 am Tremendous Die Deterioration on this 1954-S nickel. All features have a melted wax look under magnification. The gleam from the surface is dazzling. However, I am fairly confident that this is a specimen of FS-801, with the crazy steps amid the NT of Monticello. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6473 Posts	Posted 02/21/2025 5:30 pm Well, the main steps are buried in snow, and the drifts have piled up around Five Cents. But good news: the crooked set of doubled steps appears to be Full Steps! Report this Post to the Staff
