hmm

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

    Hi

    There's a pause button in the lower left corner. Then use the right arrow button to move to the next picture.
    Let me know if that works.

    Thanks for your interest.

    I figured it out. You have to click on the album at the top of the page. I was trying to click on the camera icons..

    I like the format and the pics.

    I have a question which will reveal my ignorance of this series.

    "How do the TPG's determine the FULL STEP designation? How many steps, how distinct, etc.?"

    Hi chloebess
    It takes time to learn how five or six full steps should look on the Monticello. You have asked a good question, a question that has been asked numerous times by many but understanding the entire strike of the coin is the most important aspect when collecting Jefferson nickels. I haven't addressed the steps in my profile very well and hope to do so in the very near future. But in the mean time, you can view several pictures of steps in my profile and come to some conclusion yourself on how the steps are counted.

    Check back and let me know how you're doing.

    Thank you,

    Leo

    leothelyon,

    I don't want to hijack your thread, but wanted to direct chloebess to this site....
    Step Grading & Counting,

    Good luck selling, some of these dates are tough to find....

    My thanks to both of you, Leo and Ajia, for helping me out. I realized I am one of many who have raised this question.

    So, if I got it right, it takes 5 full steps to receive a FS designation. Also a step will not be awarded if it is marred in some fashion, slash, cut, etc., at least with almost all current graders.

    I now go forward a little more enlightened thanks to you.

    Jefferson nickels that are fully struck and have at least 5 acceptable steps are given the designation. This hasn't always been the case as scores of understruck nickels have also received the designation.

    Leo, I have noticed that. That is one reason I raised the questuion. Buy the coin not the holder.

    Thanks again.
