    It looks much better in person. It is at least a 5 step.

    FYI, only uncirculated examples are eligible for full steps.

    This isn't about your nickel. Just venting! Personally, IMHO it's either FS or it's not. Don't care for nickels designated 5.5 steps or 5 steps when there's 6 steps, etc.

    The problem is that very few Jefferson Nickels have 6 full steps.

    It is so blurry and out of focus that I see no steps.

    I only see one step but clearer pictures may change my mind.

    That's why they're worth a premium. I'm guessing you have more than a few. lol :)

    Nah, I’m a toner guy, I covet eye appeal above strike always. I think I have only four 6FS coins in my registry set: 1940, 1940-S, 1942-D, & 1942-P.
