[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 308084, member: 307"]no and yes lol ;) The first does NOT have full steps, but the 1939 looks to have full steps. there is an excellent article that was in coin world values a few years ago. Has a guide to how to tell full steps. It's really pretty simple. First, you check to see if there are any knicks that cross the steps. If not, you look in a straight line down from the pillars. At each pillar you take a count of steps with there being a total possible of 6 steps. If you can count 6-6-6-6, then you have a full step 6 steps nickel. If you have 5-5-5-5, you have a full step 5 step nickel. The only combinations that are acceptable that still count as full steps are coins that count at least 5 steps below each pillar. so, 6-5-5-6 is full steps and 6-5-5-5 is full steps, but 6-4-6-6 is NOT full steps. Hope that helps, mikenoodle[/QUOTE]
