<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2058304, member: 28107&quot;]There have always been differences of opinions between whether FS coins must have 5 or 6 full steps to qualify.&nbsp; When NGC first started applying the FS designation, it applied only to full 6 step coins.&nbsp; That policy was revised in 2003 to note coins as either &quot;5FS&quot; or &quot;6FS&quot; in much the way that old ANACS did.&nbsp; It has been commonplace for full step collectors to seek out coins with even 5 steps as they can be scarce.&nbsp; (For some issues, collectors will seek out coins that just miss 5FS designations for ultra condition/designation rarities.)&nbsp; PCGS has always (since it began using the designation), applied the FS designation to coins with 5 or more full steps.</p><p><br /></p><p>On another note, I still would not purchase this piece as a FS piece, especially at the premium that it commands for this issue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
