[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 541383, member: 4920"]Pulled this out of another thread I started because it kind of got buried, there. Gave it a catchier title. Here goes... Need a grade on this coin. Pics could be better, I'm sure. Other questions: 1. Look at the closeup of the ponytail. I believe that's just how these nickels in the '40s were designed. They were designed pretty incomplete down there. Confirm or deny/explain, that "weakness/incompleteness" is just part of the design. 2. Look at the mint mark in that closeup. It appears to be a RPM, with the underlying mark sneaking out just to the East. Confirm or deny/explain. 3. Look at the closeup on the 4 in the date. There's what looks like a die chip, top-inside. There's some doubling, there, too, and that doesn't look like strike-doubling, to me. For one, it's not lateral, but rather spreads North and South. Sometimes, I think, I can even see some "spread" in the other numbers, too. Am I looking too hard at this? What do you think (in particular, on this 4)? 4. Finally, this one has about half the middle-steps, but all 5 of the side-steps. I think an FS speaks just to the middle-steps, though. Is that correct? Or, do you need side-steps, too, for FS? Thanks![/QUOTE]
