Have to see both sides of the coin. It looks like full steps.
But if it is lower grade than MS 60-MS 70, or if it is a proof then it doesn't get the FS designation.

 

Bottom left side is filled in, steps are not claire across.

 

I'm not seeing that. To my eye, it's full steps.

 

On first glance I tend to agree with you but sure wish we had more pics. Is that really a break on the left side? Also, it is such a nice strike it may be a proof coin.

 

not to great of pics

 

I don't really see the "break". There is a slight cloudiness.
I have seen worse than this designated as FS.
Also, on these modern Jeffersons, you can pick almost anyone out of circulation and they all have FS. So I think they fixed the problem,
and these may not qualify for the reason that they ALL pretty much have FS.
Pick up any recent nickel, 2016, 2017 (in circ) and the steps are bold and crisp.

 

one more pic

 

It's a 2012 P. It should have full steps. The dies were improved around 2010.

 

okay thank you, what years are more in demand for full steps

 

Thanks Rick. That's what I was thinking. If they all have FS it doesn't add to the value.

 

No coin from 2000 or later with a mintage of 500,000,000 is in demand or has an added value. Some nickels from the 60s, 70s and 80s with full steps are scarce and valuable, check out the PCGS/NGC price guides.
