<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chascat, post: 3172271, member: 76792&quot;]The full step designation on a Jefferson is justified in that nickel is an extremely hard metal and so dies deteriorate at a higher rate than those dies which strike a copper or zinc penny.&nbsp; Therefore, nickels with a &quot;full step&quot; des. are much more difficult to locate than the vast majority being &quot;non full step&quot;.&nbsp; The Lincoln Memorial cent is much more common with &quot;full Steps&quot; than without, so no designation should be required.&nbsp; A serious Lincoln Cent collector will only want the best strikes in the set, so a weaker strike on a coin would not be considered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
