[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3970954, member: 78298"]MS 68 might be $800 (over priced IMO) but the full steps designation is redundant, as all of the modern nickels have FS and how could a modern MS 68 nickel not have FS? It would have to have FS or it wouldn't grade 68. They do label modern nickels as "FS" but it's a pointless designation, since they reworked the dies. You can look at any modern circulated nickel in your pocket and they all have full steps. So why mention it? The whole point of Full Steps designation is because so very few of the older nickels have it, it is rare. Now, there are literally billions of nickels with full steps. Putting it on the label of a modern nickel is nonsense. You might just as well state on the label that the obverse has a full Jefferson head. MS 68 is practically flawless. Your nickel isn't even MS and it's worth .05 cents so why mention it?[/QUOTE]
