But it wouldn't make Full Steps, not even 5 Full Steps.
At least 3 of them disappear on the left side.
Rules vary between TPGs but for FS the steps MUST be complete all the way across.
And that not only means strike but also bag marks.
A nick going through an otherwise full step negates that step from consideration.

 

Oh - I never said it was FS but when you look down at a circulating Nickel as see steps, and lots of them, that is pretty amazing, IMO

Yep, sure is considering they are one of the high points on the reverse AND opposite one of the high points on the obverse.
That's the reason FS commands a premium.

 

I'm sold. I'll give you a penny for every step I see.

 

not for sale. Its a keeper in the collection
