Will this go FS ?

This is a 95P Jeff. I'm not the best at determining FS. Any opinions?

    All Jeffersons produced by the mints from 1990 to present will have 6 full steps on them as does yours. From 1971 up to and thru 1989, the Denver & Phil mints had a very hard time making a Jeff with 3 or 4 steps, let alone 5 or 6, and for some years even a 3 full step Jeff is very rare (76, 79, 80, 81).

    Yours would attribute a "FS" from PCGS and a "6FS" from NGC.

    For further clarification on step counting, I would suggest going to varietynickels.com. Excellent site for referencing anything/everything to do with Jeffersons.

    If it doesn't here is why... at the right corner base of the steps, there is a nick which may have the slightest impairment that is hardly worth mentioning. The only reason I did mention it is because I have a 58-D with steps that look similar to this and the designation was not applied. This should go FS...but there is that possibility.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

  • YES it will Nice steps. 64FS

    coinkat, none of the nicks to the steps OR the hit to the right step slider break the steps or bottom out at the incuse of the steps.

    JR's Jeff would get a FS from PCGS or a 6FS from NGC. I can only guess that yours (without seeing it) must have had a definite break in the steps, bridging or pinched steps to not get the FS.
