[QUOTE="stevereecy, post: 4802063, member: 19884"]Hey guys, Need advice from some full step collectors. At least 15 years ago, I found this coin at a local coin shop for a measly three dollars. I knew that it was in high grade. I eventually learned that full steps on a 1973 p are extremely rare. The rest of this very strange story is that I submitted it to a grading service and when I received it back it was a different coin. I felt like they sent me back the wrong coin! But somehow tonight when I was going through my stuff I found this coin. Apparently what happened is I sent off the wrong coin all those years ago.
