<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 3559410, member: 20480&quot;]If you&#039;re referring to the PCGS grading guide, yes, I know.&nbsp; Their rules are made to be broken .. . by them.&nbsp; While they don&#039;t yet appear to have broken this rule for Jefferson nickels, they have done so for numerous dates in the Mercury dime,&nbsp;&nbsp; Standing quarter and Franklin half series, ostensibly to fairly associate a higher value with a circulated coin which is unusually well struck for the issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it&#039;s only a matter of time before they run into a very specific Jefferson strike-rarity in AU55 or AU58 where they feel they should designate the coin full steps.I can think of several dates for which they would make an exception, breaking the ice for other dates to follow.&nbsp; In particular, dates like 1968-D, 69-D &amp; 70-D would probably set that precedent, but I don&#039;t believe they&#039;ll start down that road with dates which are readily available with full steps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
