I've been through several rolls of the new Jeffersons and they appear to all be full steps.

    "The FS designation WILL be used!"

    Reasons why the FS will remain:

    1. There are some selling the 2006 MS coins on the bay for big bucks (at least much more than they should be going for).

    2. Even though I agree with you about the master die change (which significantly upgraded the reverse), there will still be Jeffs without the FS designation (either due to dings, cuts, or other various reasons) just like the rest of the series since 92 on... most if not all of those coins had good steps and the FS designation remained.

    3. Almost every date with a Full Step desingation has coins without the FS designation... trivia question... Post 1986... how many date/mintmarks only have FS coins graded (edited to add) in PCGS holders?

    Peace!

    Rookie Joe,

    I think I will buy a 2006 coin cover set tomorrow so I can see one.

    The mint coins have that mark to the left & right, also look for a strange (S) on the back in the word cents

    am i the only one who thinks the obverse is butt ugly?
    no offense to modern collectors, i think many classic designs
    are ugly, like the 20 saint's obverse.

    I like the obverse and think the reverse should have been changed to a new design.

    Looking at mine, it seems that the FS designation may be the norm and the NFS (nonfullsteps) designation would be more rare. The minting technology at the mint is pretty good now and all my strikes (though a shallow relief) were complete and fully struck. I doubt you will see anything like FS needed anymore. Also noted that the '06 nickels do have some goobers on the steps, as described in the thread above.

    Neat! Thanks for the picture.

    Do modern copper coins need a rd designation?

    I listen to your voice like it was music, [ y o u ' r e ] the song I want to know.

    I'd give you the world, just because...

    Speak to me of loved ones, favorite places and things, loves lost and gained, tears shed for joy and sorrow, of when I see the sparkle in your eye ...
    and the blackness when the dream dies, of lovers, fools, adventurers and kings while I sip my wine and contemplate the Chi.

    This would be a major decision by PCGS to end the FS designation. If 90 per cent of the
    Jeff's are full step, what's the point? No rarity there. I assume that any designation adds to
    the bottom line of a TPG in more coins graded.

    It has the same boring reverse on it that has been on the nickel since 1938. image The design is vapid and lacking in merit, but don't blame designer Felix Schlag for that. His original work was much more interesting, but claim was it won't strike. One wonders if that would still be true with today's technology

    Well, that seals it.....this is gonna be one coin that I sure won't be collecting..

    That obv is very ugly and the rev doesn't quite have the feel of the earlier ones.

    Don't give up so quick my friend, find one without the full steps & tuck it away!
