<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1877563, member: 15309"]Answering this question really puts me in a bind. There are a great many people who believe that strike designations are a marketing scam. I am not one of those people because in general, I believe that Jefferson Nickels with full steps are usually better struck and more appealing than those without. However, when the price difference between a full step and non full step coin is in the thousands of dollars and the fact that a tiny imperfection barely visible to the naked eye decides the value of the coin is more than a little crazy. That said, I didn't make the rules, so I must play the game. Since in this case the value of a PCGS MS66 FS and an NGC MS67 are almost identical, I would prefer the coin be in an MS67 holder. Regardless of the designation or lack there of, the steps on this coin are essentially full. I would rather have the coin in the higher grade with just miss steps than the other way around.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
