Jefferson help

redrum

I recently read an ANA article on the full step niche with Jeffersons, and that there are no known full six steps. Now I swear I might have one, through all three pillar sections, and am wondering if any slabbing company recognizes or certifies these--- or is it just a subculture. Thanks.

I think that NGC requires six steps to get the FS on the holder??

There are plenty of 6 step Jeffersons. But there does exist dates where 6 step Jeffs are non-existant, or super rare.

edited to add: there are 4 pillars and steps are counted under each pillar. NGC now grades FS as 6 full steps. This is noted by Full Step collectors as 6-6-6-6 where each 6 is the steps counted under each pillar. I believe NGC also gives out 5 full step grades. Other grading companies actually do the step count.

CarlWohlforth... Thank you for reminding me about the pillars, I'm trying to sneak this in at work. (Wouldn't it be something if I had a three pillar nickel) Anyway, thanks for the info and I wish I was able to scan a picture in because this nickel is a stunner. At least it is the only nickel I have seen with the steps this clean. Uncirculated `87 P.
