[QUOTE="kanga, post: 584947, member: 9270"]I've got a set of War Nickels with the FS designation. They run from MS-64FS to MS-66FS. The problem with the FS designation is the definition. NGC starts using it at 5 steps. PCGS does the same, I think. ANACS at least tells you on the label how many, 5, 5.5 or 6. And like the FBL thread I just started, the FS designation has two criteria: - the strike [U]must[/U] have the steps present [B]ALL[/B] the way across. - the steps [U]cannot[/U] be interrupted by nicks such as bag marks. I assume a circulated nickel can have the FS designation, but I've never seen one labeled that way.[/QUOTE]
