Not any Peas this year. Got some beans growing. This nasty spring weather we have had.
I can only hope that we have a mild/ warm Fall.
I usually have the plants in the ground End of April.

 

Gregor would be proud......

 

And I'm such an Schmuck tonight......apologies folks. Signing off......Doug will have my hide in the morning.

 

I live in Curitiba, South of Brazil. Here the autumn is ending and the winter promise be very cold, much more than others before. I'm afraid plants won't grow up enough here this winter.

 

I gave them some nice orgnanic soil.
It's been humid. I am Ranting Thanks Ya'll for having me .

 

Just because the design change makes full steps much more common doesn't stopp full steps from being full steps. it just means there is little or no premium for them.

Don't know if Jefferson did or not, but Washington did.

 

Agree not FS

 

Had to have something to relieve the 'gum' pain. He couldn't drink 'scotch', because he was inverse to those fellows at the time. American whiskey was rough and unrefined. Tennessee Whiskey! Maybe?

 

It's light. The air is so thin that you gotta keep moving.
Haven't heard this one in a while.

 

This is a very good point and in my experience, not well known. PCGS will allow shallow marks that cross the steps but (in their opinion) don’t fully interrupt the step detail. This policy makes interrupting marks a matter of degree and further increases the subjectivity of the exercise. The result is what you see in the OPs 3rd photo which shows an example where the steps are clearly interrupted yet the coin still has the full step designation.

In contrast, NGC will not award the 5FS or 6FS if any contact mark interrupts the steps. In this regard, NGC is much more stringent in their application of the full step designation (as they are with most strike designations).

@Puddin'Farts, your coin is not full steps as the mark that traverses the steps is too deep for anyone to ignore it. The PCGS coin is also not full steps and whomever pays the outrageous premium that the FS designation has generated on that coin has invested in fools gold.
