Finished my first complete set (short set though lol). Got all 11 war nickels. I am the only person with a complete registry set of war nickles in MS66 hehe. Only the 2nd person to complete the set with 0% FS! (FS=BS). Oh yeah 18th place in current and 19th all time baby LOL

Edited to add: Thanks again Bill for that BEAUTIFUL 43S which is undoubtedly the flagship coin of the set!

So why are FS BS? (I had been wondering for a while what that cryptic little equation meant.... )

IMHO - The only way to see if a Jeff is full step or not is by using magnification. Some times I can tell with 5x but usually takes 10x to be sure. Now, I love my coins and I do love looking at them constantly but I don't see why such a tiny thing like a few stairs that take 10x magnification to even see should put a 100% or more premium on them. I'd rather pay $45 for an MS66 than $150 for an MS66FS when they look esentially exactly the same unless you ultra scrutinize with a loupe in one tiny area of the coin. Wasted money on an unneeded system that only serves to put more money in the pockets of the TPG's through skyrocket premiums and massive submissions and resubmissions to try to attain the magical "FS". So, in close, "Full Steps" = "Bull Sh*t".

Edited to add: I'm not trying to bash anyone who is into the FS gig, just saying it's not my ball of wax. To each his/her own.
