<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1879619, member: 15309&quot;]I agree with almost everything in this post.&nbsp; There are certainly examples of well struck Jefferson Nickels with no step detail,</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%20Misc/JeffersonNickel1953-SNGCMS67Reverse_zps7a18ba6f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>as well as 6 step examples with poor overall strikes:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%20Misc/JN1941-DNGCMS676FSReverse_zps9c21f6f2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>That said, the majority of full step nickels have above average strikes.&nbsp; But you are right, each coin needs to stand on its own merits, not based solely on a strike designation that focuses on a tiny area of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the &quot;lunatic fringe&quot; comment on the other thread, that comment was directed solely at your grading methods, not the sum of your numismatic knowledge.&nbsp; But I think you know that.&nbsp; What you don&#039;t seem to know is that the comment is absolutely correct.&nbsp; I don&#039;t expect you to believe me, you have made your opinion of my experience and knowledge abundantly clear.&nbsp; But there has to be some CT members who have numismatic knowledge that you do respect, Matt Dinger or Tom Bush perhaps.&nbsp; Maybe you should ask them about the validity of my comment and get back to us.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
