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

Centered broad struck. Very nice. MS-65 would be my guess. 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.

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.

Wow, nice example! That pretty much illustrates why modern presses need collars.

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.
