Hope everyone is having a good day. I came across this 1962 in an estate sale with other coins purchased. First pic was taken off PCGS site and as discription reads full steps. Pics that follow are of coin from estate and really confused when I try to compare. Does coin I have qualify? Last pic I took at angle in attempt to show the separation and hope it helps. Thanks for the help
I'm sorry forgot to mention it is a proof. I wanted to ask if these are what qualify for full steps because PCGS coin wasn't the best quality and I am not even a novice. So I can use the proof as an example of what to look for in circulated coins? Thank you
Mint state steps don’t hold up that well. If you find mint state steps that look like that, they’re definitely full.
Proof coin should have full steps or at least fs5. Unless it’s an impair proof. Your looking for a ms state coin with fs5 or fs...
