<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Half Dime, post: 25251885, member: 153164&quot;]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&#039;ve seen some that, if you look at the right angle, there could be more.</p><p><br /></p><p>From this image, it appears that there are 6 full steps, but I&#039;ve counted a couple of more steps on ones I&#039;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.</p><p><br /></p><p>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!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1610552[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
