[QUOTE="The Half Dime, post: 25251885, member: 153164"]Recently I saw some ungraded Jefferson nickels with full steps (one being a 1950-D) and I was wondering exactly which steps they take into consideration. Some of the coins look like they have 5-6 full steps in the middle, but I've seen some that, if you look at the right angle, there could be more. From this image, it appears that there are 6 full steps, but I've counted a couple of more steps on ones I've personally seen, making it as much as [I]eight [/I]full steps. That sounds crazy, right? The crazy thing is, the grading companies seem to attribute only up to 6, which confuses me. Exactly which steps do they grade? Is it only the ones visible from angles like this? If so, we could possibly end up seeing nickels with an 8FS designation! [ATTACH=full]1610552[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
