    Digging through last bying pile of coins, I see two interesting nickels. One, 1948 looking like die clash, but this one, looks amazing. Beautiful, looks like just now come from mint. Can this coin be a my first Full step nickel. Sorry for bad pictures IMG_20190722_232719.jpg IMG_20190722_232313.jpg 20190722_232958.jpg IMG_20190722_232657.jpg

    Looks like a proof; FS does not apply to proof coins as they all should have them. Nice!

    I don't see a D mint mark. IMO your coin looks like a Proof coin. If it is, they don't designate FS for proofs. @Razz beat me to it.

    That coin is 100% a proof coin.

    That's a proof coin. They don't do full steps because they have already sharp details with it being a proof And FS is the designer initials. Very nice proof though.
