<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BigDowgie, post: 488784, member: 16203&quot;]I have nickleman&#039;s back on this one. We do not need to get into a debate on what constitutes &quot;full steps&quot;. It should be up to you as a collector. The grading services provide the market with a full step designation that just happens to be 5 steps or the top 4 complete, unbroken lines (when they get it right!). What each individual collectors calls their coins is up to them. Remember, buy the coin, not the holder!</p><p>A response to mikenoodle comment, &quot;This coming from a man who defends market grading coins... that&#039;s rich&quot;. I started off not liking encapuled coins, but over time have gained some appreciation. One of several reasons is to protect my investment in case something were to happen to me. My family wouldn&#039;t have a clue what some of this stuff is or is worth. Graded coins do not allow dealers the flexibility to rip folks off as they can do with raw coins. </p><p>Dowgie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
