<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CarlWohlforth, post: 606356, member: 56&quot;]The first coin in the original post has steps merged under the 4&#039;th pillar so looks like it has 4 full steps. I really love the colored marks in the photo which make it very easy to coin steps!</p><p><br /></p><p>The &#039;43-S looks like full steps, can&#039;t tell for sure with the photos provided.</p><p><br /></p><p>The beautiful &#039;41-D above may have 6 steps as noted by NGC but that doesn&#039;t mean it has full details. It was minted from late state dies. Either the strike above the steps is weak or many details on Monticello have worn down. </p><p><br /></p><p>NGC original called only 6 step coins FS. Now they distinguish between 5 and 6 step coins. That is good because some dates do not have 6 step coins known. Even a circulated 6 step example of those dates would bring a nice premium. PCGS calls 5 step coins FS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
