GTG - 1973 Jefferson Nickel Full Steps?

Found this sifting through my stash...and no, not mou-stash, just my stash.

The contrast in tone (from the 2nd and 3rd pic) is not at all noticeable in hand and is only slightly visible with my 16x loupe. The pic really brought that out for some reason. Anyhoo...Full Steps?

Not full steps, the 5th step is worn.

 

I think yes, but you need Lehigh to look at it.

 

i think not either, the 5th and 6th step look fused together in the middle

 

Borderline, but more likely no than yes I would say

 

@rlm's cents after your comment i did some searching and found @Lehigh96 's write up on FS Jeffersons...thx to both.

Look like mine would be considered a 5FS Jefferson according to PCGS [added] and NGC...

 

I don't know what I am missing, but I see nothing to keep NGC from calling it 5 steps. It is definitely not 6 steps.

 

Yup..I missed putting the NGC in my finding...Agreed on the no 6FS...

 

I sure hope they don't find a giant finger print on the obverse.
