Coin Grading companies

There has to be another way to get your coins graded I cannot believe they gave this coin full steps it's a 1938 D Jefferson nickel I have more nickels that look like better than this and I'm afraid to send them in because I don't know if they're going to get full steps let's see what happens I sent in eight nickels a few with definitely full steps I got a third opinion on those but I don't know if they're going to grade Ms 67 plus like this crap did how do they expect you to have trust in these companies when you see stuff like this on the internet on their websites I don't get it These three coins are the TOP POP FS Jefferson nickels that sold for more than 90k And they do not have FULL STEPS

And you came up with this from looking at images? They had the coins in hand. Did you?

 

I'm so humored. A few weeks ago you had no idea what Full Steps were. Now all of a sudden your a total expert of Full Steps

 

my tv cost 4k

 

my tv cost 4000

And my favorite colour is blue.......

 

So three threads on the same exact subject.
1 wasn't good enough? You didn't get the answers you wanted? This only shows that you don't have a clue how to grade coins.
So willy what style of steps does this coin have? Do you have any clue of how they grade the first issue of the Jefferson? How about 1940, or 71', maybe 77' and 82'? How about you break those different grading standards down for us.
You are the expert right? You have looked at a couple million nickels, haven't ya?

 

I just had to get my point across it's been bothering me all weekend thank all you guys for responding and listening appreciate it

 

It ain't Millions buddy it's paying attention to detail they have two graded and it ain't rocket science they're not playing by their own rules is the point I'm trying to make they making the rules up as they go along it's a scam

 

Problem is they are playing by the rules, it is just that you haven't studied enough to know the rules. Break down the grades we want to know why you know more than the TPG's that have been grading coins for almost 40 years.

 

I love shrimp Scampi.

 

Question? have any of you looked at the images the OP posted? I HAVE. Do any of you think any of the coins have full steps?

What are the rules for a FS Jefferson nickel?

 

To me, they don't

“Full Steps” is a grading designation used for circulation strike Jefferson Nickels which have at least five full steps visible at the base of Monticello on the reverse. Broadly speaking, the designation is used to identify coins which have been fully struck. In order to receive the designation, there must be no disturbance of the steps due to strike weakness, contact marks, or planchet problems.

 

Yes.

Personally, No.

I like the Girl Scouts cookies Drive. They snagged me at Lowes.
Lowes only has 1 very full step.

 

If we followed the rules. There wouldn't be 5FS Jeffersons for the 1938, and Shirely not any 6FS. It is questionable among the specialist's if a proof can have 6FS or not.

I have and I have also photo'd quite a few nickels and even 38d's that I have been unable to capture the very fine evidence of the 5th step.
I have a few photos of the one below that I couldn't define even the fourth step.
Do I question the step detail. Yes.

 

Well, I guess we all agree. None of the OP's images have FS. So why do you think he was getting blasted? I seems he has learned something besides whatever he posted before that I never saw.

 

Thank you sir I agree 1 million percent it's costing us all money
