<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2741197, member: 112&quot;]But rather obviously it was because there is no mention of the side steps even mentioned in the criteria.

I mean they changed the designation to only require 5 steps instead of 6 as it is. So they want less, not more. And besides that, even if all steps were required, the designation would still be basically meaningless because even with all steps the coin is still not fully struck. Not even close !</p><p><br /></p><p>And while I readily acknowledge that not even one of the special designations for any coin is meant to represent a fully struck coin, they are specifically intended to represent a well struck coin.

Thus the required criteria are written so as to allow that to happen.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of that said, if your point is that there should be more stringent requirements for any special designation - you and I are in complete agreement on that. All of the special designations, as they are written, are essentially meaningless.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
