<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 911501, member: 15309&quot;]I think this is probably one of the best ways to evaluate full steps on a Jefferson nickel.&nbsp; This method is called the quarter step method created by the Full Step Nickel Club (FSNC).&nbsp; Nagengast credit&#039;s an FSNC member by the name of Darrel Crane with its&#039; creation.&nbsp; Essentially, this method provides much more detail than just 5FS as seen below.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><font size="4"><span style="color: Blue">5FS Jefferson Nickel (6-6-6-5)</span></font></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%20Full%20Steps/JeffersonNickel1958-DNGCMS665FSReve.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><font size="4"><span style="color: Blue">5FS Jefferson Nickel (5-5-5-6)</span></font></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%20Full%20Steps/JeffersonNickel1941-DNGCMS67Star-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>While both coins have 5FS, there is no doubt that the quality of those five steps are very different.&nbsp; The FSNC quarter step method allows you to see this without ever seeing a photo and is much more valuable to collectors who seek coins with impeccable steps rather than coins that just made it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only TPG that employs the quarter step method is SEGS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
