I'm waiting on the "FULL STEPS" designation for 1959 to date Lincoln Cents. Only a matter of time.

Oh yeah. And on the earlier ones? "FW" (Full Wheat).

There are many years that Lincoln cents are poorly struck. If such a designation was to arise it would be interesting to see if there aren't some years without a single coin grading FS or FB. Even the SMS coins are often not very well struck.

FW - ? Full Whiskers? Could be confusing. Full Wrinkles? That's SBA designation, I think.

For some of these coins an even bigger problem than finding a full strike is finding
one that isn't all gouged and scratched. I don't look too much in rolls so it's poss-
ible some of these are not as elusive there. The '79 is really tough. In the mint sets
you'll find these with nice full strikes and even some perfect strikes but about 96%
are very dinged up. The other 4% are almost universally marked also but they are
attractive. Very high grade is problematical. The 72-D will seem easy when you first
start looking since there are lots and lots of "just missed" coin. Problem is that fewer
than .2% are "all there"! The 84's are interesting since the bulk of these have unat-
tractive surfaces, and a few are proof like.

Outhaul

LMAO @ Libertad for comments on the scabby old bat!
