Jefferson nickels from a 1955 mint set. Tell me what you think...

Here are three nickels from some mint sets I own. The first one looks as it might win an award for the weakest strike, and the other two look as they might have a shot at full steps. At any rate there sure is a large difference in strikes...

    Some of the worst strikes I have seen on nickels come from double mint sets. None are full steps. The dome on one of the other ones is just a blob on one side the other one has weak steps.
  • No full steps

    With mint sets the worst ive seen are on 58 sets. Some of the P mints you can barely read some of the lettering lol. None of those from that set will make the full step designation image. What type of color do the silver pieces have?
