Hello,

PCGS will recognize full steps on nickels as long as there are 5 clear and distinct steps visible.

If you have any other questions please feel free to contact customer service at 1-800-447-8848.

Thank you

Hi, BigDave! I think PCGS may have thought you were talking about circulation strikes. PCGS does not use the "full steps" designation with proofs. It is pretty much assumed that proofs have full steps, due to their striking.
