Jefferson full step question

Windycity

So there is only one 1960 D jefferson full step known. Do full step collectors pay a premium for near full step in that date or is it an all or nothing designation?

For some of the dates, they do bring a premium. For example, I just sold two 1953 S nicks in PCGS MS64 (they refuse to full step them) for $750. These two are full steps to full step collectors, thus the price they brought. The near full stepers, won't bring that much premium but should bring some on the keys.

These two are full steps to full step collectors

hey Morris

please explain the above statement. i know a little bit about Full Step Jeffs and it's pretty cut and dried what is and what isn't Full step.

I was told that PCGS does not use the same standards for full steps that alot of full step collectors use.

PCGS is actually lenient, only requiring Five Steps. NGC is more in line with what diehards would call Full Step, requiring all Six to be clear. they have recently softened, changing to the Five Step/Six Step requirement and designating as such. i need to see Five clean and unbridged steps.

1953-s is a tough date. no doubt your buyers compromised with the closest thing they thought they'd find. MS64 Jeffersons aren't the prettiest sight to behold. i think you did well.
