    Nope---Mr Taylor decided that he wasn't interested in coins anymore so he took it down---I had emailed him and asked about it and the details---he is interested in selling everything but at a price I couldn't do.

    varietynickel.com was a great website for Jefferson Nickels. I am still hoping someone would buy it and get it up again.

    What kind of money is he asking?
    He had it on E Bay once and I think the starting bid was $1000 dollars, But didn't get any bids.

    I think it was around $700 IIRC.

    2006 nickels??

    Okay... I'm a bit confused about the step thing. I looked at a bunch of 2006 nickel rolls, and they ALL look like they have six full steps. The image of Monticello is new on these though, and much lower relief than the older ones. Are you counting the 2006 ones as full-step, or are they out of the race because they're new?

    This is a picture of full steps -

    All 6 of the steps have to be clear and distinct, if they are not then it can be a 5 step or 5.5 step. But they do not count less than 5. In my opinion, they need to count all 6 for the coin to be considered as full steps. ( to do otherwise is like saying the glass is full when it is really only almost full full ). There can be no breaks across the lines of the steps. If there is, then it counts as a 5 step or 5.5 step depending on the severity. More breaks than that and the coin does not get the designation from the TPGs.

    For the Jefferson series from the late 80's to date Full Steps is the norm. Try finding full step in some dates of the 40's + 50's + 60's + 70's and you've stuck gold! It's a strange thing some years full steps are common others exstremly rare or even unheard of, thats what makes collecting the series in FS such a challege. If you want a good overall breakdown of the entire series withh all the design changes over the years, step counting, and year by year fs rarity I suggest The Jefferson Nickel Analyst by Bernard Nagengast, I've added a link to an ebay listing if interested.

    Speedy do you have the contact info for Mr. Taylor? I found someone that is interested in purchasing the site.

    I think I may have it somewhere around here as I bought a few coins from him. I will see if I can find it for you.

    Sorry I can't find Jason's contact info . Maybe Speedy will see this and have it.
    I would like to see varietynickel.com back up. It was the best Jefferson Nickel site by far.
