[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 25558088, member: 15309"]It is important to remember that PCGS only requires 5 full steps for the FS designation, whereas NGC differentiates between 5FS and 6FS. Most modern Jeffersons from the 90's to present will have 6FS. Your coin looks to have 6FS which is common for 2021 coin. As for the PCGS coin, the first coin looks to have 6FS, the 2nd coin is not FS because the 4th step is broken in two places (above the N&T and the I in MONTICELLO), and the 3rd coin looks to be 5FS with break in the 6th step under the 2nd pillar. Although your photo is a little hard to interpret because of the color, I am curious as to why you think it wouldn't be full steps? I don't see any areas of weakness for concern. Also, the graders don't look at things like this under a microscope, they use a 5-10X loupe for a few seconds. I think you maybe doubting your coin because of over magnification.[/QUOTE]
