Joe in order to find full steps the first place to look for is below the third pillar. This is always the last area to fill in upon strike. To get...
Actually it only takes five steps to get the FS designation. NGC goes further and attribute both 5 a 6 FS. The steps should be full without dings...
My bad @baseball21 I think that PCGS/ NGC does a lot of things right, they also do plenty of things that I don't like. Conversations between you...

I don't think that it will be long if PCGS keeps the same practices that they use. They have already pretty much thrown any true sense of grading...
If the AM was wide the spacing between the A and M would be the same as the space between the M and E. The seen distance on this coin was probably...
I am still at a 65. The steps seem to be much clearer in this photo.
How do you grade something 4 times and not realize that it is your poster child for AT?
