It sure is nice but I must say no, not in my book. The lower left side is large enough to stop it from being FS to me.
If my memory serves me that a design change to the reverse ...just about all Jeffersons nickels at this time frame should be,or close to full steps. However FS nickels only pretain to early Jeffersons not the modern coinage. As previously mentioned, after 1971 striking quality improved, and the only issue that is tough in full steps is the 1976, while others are relatively easy to find. The reverse was strengthened considerably in 1989/90 and after that year most coins will exhibit six full steps, although there maybe hits or nicks on the steps... none are given a FS on the grade .
I have a quarter with the head on both sides. I see a grove next to the rim on the face of the quarter but it weighs 5.51 grams which is in weight tolerance anybody know why this is?
A magicians coin weighs around 4.99 grams a novelty coin is around 9 grams but mine is 5.51 grams and it is a double headed quarter and has a grove next to the rim on one side of the quarter I'm stumped.
Hi. Welcome to CoinTalk. What you just did was hijack another thread to ask a question that has nothing to do with the topic in question. You should start a new thread. Pictures are needed! But I believe your quarter is nothing but an altered magician coin. Considered damage. The groove is where the 2 coins were machined and put together. The weight has nothing to do with anything.
Yeah but how is anybody going get it within weight tolerance because a magic coin is below weight tolerance
It could be anything. Sometimes the coin will actually separate and half of that will have another coin that was cut in half made of another kind of metal. Have you ever heard of the scotch and soda magician coin. Google it. Or it's hollow inside. Spy coin. Google that.
The Redbook says the 1/2 of all 87P are 5fs. Says that a 6 FS is rare. Not sure the number. I think that the steps on the left are there, just not 100% sharp.
