War nickel grade opinion's and full step help please

coinsarefun

It is always so difficult to grade one's own
Help me out and tell me if the 1942-P is full steps or not.
I think the 1944-S has lamination issues going on does this lower the grade?

A bump for the morning crowd please

MS65 no FS. Please take my opiniom for what it is worth. Let me tell you, when grading any Nickel its not worth a lot.

The 42 maybe hard to tell how weak they are
The 44 without FS to low to get a good grade

From the photos , the 42-p looks to have FS (5 full steps)

6 steps are rare for this date.........

The stike looks kind of weak on the obv.

Whats going on with the rim ? ( w of igwt )

1942- I'd say no fs ( under 3rd pillar 3/4th step ) hard to tell on pic but also looks like a gap under the 2nd pillar... but that's a free opinion from a novice ..
44S laminations have a collector base of their own ... use care they are worth more with the laminations still attached.. ( nice coin I like it )

FS?
Sure if it's a OBH pedigree, other wise probably not.

I appears to be also lamination.

The 42P will grade 65 and I'd say about 70% of getting FS. The 44S will not get graded by PCGS at all with the lamination.

The 42' looks like it has an issue with the third step. Full steps should be clearly defined with no merging or breaks in the steps.
