<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Weston, post: 1942149, member: 58878&quot;]PCGS describes the Full step designation as follows:</p><p>Jefferson Nickels. MS60 or better, at least five complete steps must appear on Monticello. Any steps that join or fuse together, whether created that way or <span style="color: #000000">subsequently damaged, cannot be considered for the Full Steps designation.</span></p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I understand that. But upon further inspection/comparison before I send one of mine to them, I have found that a lot of their coins designated as FS do in fact have minor flaws on the steps. I was checking out the 1946 S FS nickels on PCGS coinfacts and even on their featured coins, they have minor step issues. Check out the pic below(1946 S MS66FS) all the way to the left of the stairs. So this raises my question of, how strict are they about the FS designation?[ATTACH=full]337408[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Below is a picture of mine. What do you guys think? Sorry for the bad picture. Regardless how the picture looks, the steps are completely full, except for that nick right in the middle. After comparing it to the designated FS example above, I don&#039;t really know anymore![ATTACH=full]337409[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
