<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JrCoin, post: 855955, member: 18390&quot;]Thanks for clarifying in regards to the early issue 6 steps Lehigh...I got that impression from the note in Coins magazine price guide...it says</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;Note: Fully Struck Full Step nickels command higer prices.&nbsp; Bright, Fully Struck coins command even higher prices.&nbsp; 1938 thru 1989 - 5 Full Steps.&nbsp; 1990 to date - 6 Full Steps.&nbsp; Without bag marks or nicks on steps.&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I would suppose someone seeking the ultimate coin would want the 6 step designation, however I fail to see that 6 full steps would win out over eye appeal and overall strike and grade.&nbsp; I guess what I am trying to say is I would take a frosty proof or toned monster over a full step designation.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen coins that were only a technical grade of au 58 that imo were superior in eye appeal to, say a ms 63.&nbsp; Lehigh, btw, I drool with envy over your Jeffersons.&nbsp; They are amazing.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I would say if you like a coin, and it is visually appealing to you, it is better to buy that coin than the one you think you are &quot;supposed&quot; to buy.&nbsp; I think the coin that started this thread is a very nice pick up and a sweet deal to boot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
