Hi, long time casual lurker here, and now a member.
In your opinion, would you consider this a full-step (5 step) Jefferson Nickel?
Thanks for your input!

No. Obscured above the c in Monticello.

@Keshequa - Do you mean the picture is obscured and you can't tell, or the step is incomplete above the C in Monticello?
Close but no cigar.

A FS cannot have any breaks in the step, yours has breaks.
Please indicate the year of your nickel
It is a 1939 Doubled Monticello slabbed by NGC as MS66FS.
I don't own it, just looking at it.
Well they slabbed it as FS... that said, the bottom step looks incomplete-but that could just be a function of the lighting angle when the pic was shot. A clearer image would likely tell the tale.

Maybe NGC sees it, but I don't.
Yeah, I fell it is borderline, and if I am going to pay the premium for FS, I really want to see all the steps clearly. IE: Not while using an electron microscope!
Regardless, the strike is very good for the 1939 Doubled Monticello!
I think I'd ask for better, well focused pics of the reverse where the light source isn't washing out some of the detail.

The picture is excellent. The step is obscured.

The photo has a lot of glare, when I use my phone and enlarge the photo the steps appear to be full. The lighting glare is making that area above the "C" look to be blended. Now having said that I would not buy from these photos unless the seller has a solid return policy so that you could have the opportunity to view it in hand without the photo glare.
I will also say that if your goal is to cross I would pass and look for this coin already in P plastic, crossing coins is always a dicey event.
