<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 1560699, member: 17261&quot;]I can&#039;t find my diagram picture, but there are two primary areas where the steps typically show weakness and are incomplete. The first area is at the bottom of the steps toward the middle. The working dies and sometimes working hubs show wear here from over use. The second area is in the middle of the steps and it usually starts on the right side. An excellent example of this can be seen on what seems like 99% of the 2006P cents. I think they overused the reverse working hub at Philly in 2006 as most of them exhibt mushy steps in the middle. The attached picture shows the start of problem in 2006. This coin is BARELY FS to me, but they are all there and complete.</p><p><br /></p><p>Had to tell from the picture, but your coin is cutting it REAL close. Any merging or incompletness in the steps at all takes away the FS designation in my eyes. Get a 10x loupe out, you should be able to see the steps quite well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
