[QUOTE="jody526, post: 124412, member: 578"]There are various definitions, depending on who's doing the "defining". LOL I am one who believes that the term (Full Steps) should mean exactly what it says. That would be six well defined steps without bridges (weakly struck areas) or cuts that interrupt the continuity of the lines. Here is the best picture I could find of a coin with "Full Steps", or a fully struck, and undamaged, step detail. I haven't seen the actual coin, so just assume that all the steps are continous and undamaged. [IMG]http://coin-shop.com/6fs.jpg[/IMG] If you're going to be looking through bags of modern coins (1989-2003), you shouldn't have too much trouble finding full step coins. Due to design improvements and minting processes, these dates are usually well struck and exhibit full details. The toughest part will be finding coins without nics or cuts that inturrupt the continuity of the lines that seperate the steps.[/QUOTE]
