The Cyber-space 6 Step Collection

Hi everyone
To all you 5 full step collectors out there I have some good news, you will now need
to collect 6 full step Jefferson nickels, to complete your collections. Isn’t this exciting news!
Well, before you kick that dog or whatever you might want to kick, let me first say that
there is some half-truth to my announcement. No, PCGS has not begun to grade and
certify 6 step Jefferson nickels but yet, you should be collecting them.
I believe there are a few full step collectors here in these forums and across the country
that would like to see 6 step Jefferson nickels get their due recognition. ANACS has graded 6 step Jefferson’s for quite some time. And rumors have it that NGC is just beginning to see 6 steps on the Jefferson nickels. This is great news. But why not PCGS? More on that later.
This thread is dedicated to those who would like to share their views, show their stuff
and get this thing off the ground and moving in the right direction.
I would also encourage and invite the PCGS staff to come on board and address this
issue. We need enlightenment and some action concerning this matter. Please give us
some idea on what we can do to bring 6 step Jefferson nickels to the PCGS Registry sets.
In the meantime, while those very few chosen, stroke their chins and scratch their
heads pondering up a plan that will determine the fate of 6 step Jefferson nickels……
(Please note that some of you have seen the thread on the 1949 but I wrote this over a
month ago)
I would like to share with you some interesting thoughts concerning the possibilities that
a 1949-P Jefferson nickel may exist in 6 steps. Does anyone have one that they can speak
of? It's here I would like to stress the very importance to why these forums need to welcome and accept collectors who have raw coin collections of every series because this is most likely where such a coin could exist and be discovered and brought to light. So what if a collection is raw, would it be possible for raw collections to be rated among the PCGS certified sets? But yet, because these sets are not yet certified, therefore, they would not qualify for rank’n-identification (new word people, make a note of it, lol) among the Certified sets. What could be wrong with that? This could be a great promotion and PR for PCGS to open its doors to raw collections. PCGS could charge a marginal fee, say $100 min. per collection or $5 per coin, for grading entire raw coin collections, placing each coin in a saflip, and rendering a possible sticker grade without a guarantee.
Oh man, you guys know I'm beginning to hear the crowds cheering again but let's get
back to the 1949 6 stepper.
Is it possible for a 6 step 1949-P Jefferson nickels to exist? The real question should be,
is it possible for every Jefferson nickel date to exist with 6 steps? What a collection that
would be, a Jefferson nickel collection of 6 step nickels. Since the unlikely-hood that such a collection could ever be completed by one individual, let’s call this collection “The Cyber-space 6 Step Jefferson collection.” Anyone can be a participant of this collection who can add a 6 step nickel and his story to the collection. I will begin this collection and list the 6 steppers I have and whoa, hold on to your hats for a second, I just had another brainstorm of an idea. Maybe PCGS could volunteer to verify the 6 steppers and better yet, Collector Universe could be so gracious to provide a place on their web site for this fantasy collection to exist and grow. Also as this collection grows, population numbers could be tabulated to show the number of possible 6 step coins that exist for each date. And at PCGS’s strong recommendation if a coin deemed worthy for certification, that coin would go beyond the C-S6JC.
Well, while that’s on hold let’s get back to the 1949 6-stepper mystery. If you haven’t
clicked on the link to the picture yet, please do so now. Many of you may be asking. What the haywire am I looking at? This is an off- centered strucked 1949-P Jefferson nickel. Besides the fact that it is already an interesting error coin, you may have also noticed the steps in the picture. Due to my Intel Play QX3 microscope toy I am able to bring this very large blown up picture of the steps your way. Let’s hear it for Intel……..YEA! Cheers! Bravo! OK enough of that!
I want to point out some very intriguing facts about these steps. As some of you most
serious full step collectors may have noticed and I know your superglued to the monitor
right now, cringing at the edge of your seat, that there are 6 steps, count them, 6 steps
can be seen on this coin. Yes, I know the picture isn’t that great but if you had the coin
in front of you, just take my word for it; this coin has 6 very nice presentable steps worthy of discussion here. Now I know that some of you may be thinking that because this is an error coin that this is why it has 6 steps. Sure I’ll agree with that possibility but we can not deny the fact that the die that struck this coin indeed had 6 steps. And we also can not deny the fact that this same die struck more then one planchet. Do you see the light my friend! Hallelujah brother! Are you following along with me on this? So what does all this tell us? Is it possible for a 1949-P to exist with 6 steps? For certain, we don’t know where that coin might be right now but it’s out there somewhere waiting to be discovered if someone hasn’t done so already.
Enough of the 1949, that was a couple of weeks ago and now I want to address another possible 6 step coin. A 1959 Jefferson nickel. Yes my friends, what about the year 1959? Many of you were probably born that year, taking your very first 6 steps……..laugh out loud please…..OK that’s enough! There no sense in getting this thing too far out of hand…….OK, laugh again!
Getting back to the possibility of a 6 step 1959 Jefferson nickel, let’s go right to the picture.
Now some of you with antique computers may need to somehow copy and brighten it up
a bit to see what we are all here gawking at. Before anyone says anything, yes I know,
the steps have a big old nick in them and instantly you are all thinking this coin is not a
full step nickel. Well, hello! PCGS thinks so, as this is a PCGS certified FS Jefferson nickel and by the way, it’s a MS65 coin and who would disagree with that. So to wrap this up, I’m adding, the possibility that a 6 step 1959 may exist, to the Cyber-space 6 step collection.
Until later,
Leo
