    I don't have much knowledge about FS Jeffersons, from what I've read they are hard to find from 1970 and below, other than that there are contradictions on the net about them. I have had this coin in a flip for a while and came back across it recently and to my untrained eye it looks FS. One place says they are common another says they are valuable, price ranges are all over the board and it says there are certain criteria to be considered FS. I'll ask do you think this is FS and could someone post a link that is reliable on these? I'd like to learn more. 70-s.jpg 70-s1.jpg 70-s2.jpg

    Nice looking but I don’t think you have full steps.

    I really don't know, like I said this is new to me. I looked up a few on PCGS graded FS seen a few sold through HA and to me this one looks better than the ones posted that made the cut. I don't know. I'm learning

    It looks like a proof. Definitely full steps.

    I don't know, it looks pretty good to me. What do you see that might make it anything other than a FS. The crack in the entranceway??

    and that confuses me, I believe it may have been cracked from a proof set. There are business and proof strikes for this year correct? If like other coins higher grade business coins are more collectible than proof?

    I think Full steps only applies to business strike coins. It's sort of expected for proofs.
    A quick check of the pcgs price guide shows no listing for full step proofs
