<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2734314, member: 15309&quot;]The standard for Full Steps is different for the Reverse of 38 and has always been different since the TPGs started recognizing the different reverses.&nbsp; Bridges and marks that interrupt the steps are both permitted as long as they are relatively minor and the remainder of the steps show good detail.&nbsp; The most important factor in determining FS for the reverse of 38 is the presence of an uninterrupted 5th step, specifically under the 3rd pillar.&nbsp; It can be narrowed, but it can&#039;t be broken.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope these examples from my collection help show what the standard is for the reverse of 38. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%20Full%20Steps/JN1938PCGSMS66FS.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%20Full%20Steps/JN1938PCGSMS66FSSteps.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%20Full%20Steps/JN1938-DNGCMS675FS.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%20Full%20Steps/JN1938-DNGCMS675FSSteps.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>In response to the original question, I see a break in the 5th step under the 3rd pillar and think that this coin should not be designated as a Full Step coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
