<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 260968, member: 307&quot;]Although no expert on Full Step Jeffersons, let me take a swing at this. Pre-1980 something, for a nickel to be full steps, it must have at least 5 full steps. More modern coins require 6 full steps for the full step designation.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the arena of value, a coin is what it is... it is worth what someone will pay for it and not a penny less. If someone finds this 4.75 step nickel more desirable than one with zero steps, then the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As far as selling it to a dealer, I would expect no better offer for a 4.75 step nickel than one with 0 steps.</p><p><br /></p><p>This eBay seller is hyping his coin as any good circus barker would do for his show. I think one of my favorite song lyrics applies here. &quot;Don&#039;t believe the hype!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin Values (a sister publication of Coin World) did a really nice article on exactly how the grading services determine how many steps a nickel has. I can photograph it if you like and could e-mail it to you, but I don&#039;t think it can be shared here except to type the article in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
