jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 12/25/2010 09:42 am I acquired this nickel a few days ago for a very cheap price. It's almost the same size as a quarter.I don't know to much about nickels so how would this one grade? and what is meant by FS Full steps.Any comments and grade appreciated Edited by jasper62 12/25/2010 09:43 am Report this Post to the Staff

Having the coin in hand might reveal a few bag marks that might lower the grade, but I don't see anything distracting from the images provided. Report this Post to the Staff
fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 12/25/2010 10:36 am I really like that example. I'm less than average trying to assign a grade to these. Get caught-up in the "eye appeal" thing. Sadly, boxes dont produce them. Report this Post to the Staff

jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 12/25/2010 1:10 pm There's a mark on the 2nd column from the left which you can hardly see with the naked eye.other than that a very few scuff marks.Thanks coop for the possible MS grade. Anybody happen to know if this one would qualify for a Full step coin.I thought about putting it on the auction block and wanted to make sure I get the description right.
