Mystery Date Jeffersons from the 60's......Do either of these qualify as Full Steps? Pics Added

Crazy4Coins

Before I disclose the dates, I am seeking opinions on whether either of these qualify as Full Steps.

From the 60's, what do you say, Full Steps?

Ok. Here are the reverse images for both coins.

A few guess already......although they are not 1960, 1961 or 1965 coins. Any other guesses?

Coin#1



Coin#2

I don't think so...

No....

and

Heck no!

Maybe they were full steps before the dies struck their 288,000th coin.

DIMEMAN

Not even close to me.

Very nice coins for most of the 60's....but not FS...

Those are nice for the era but not close to getting the designation, the lack of differentiation between the third and fourth steps under the first two pillars are where most of those go to die.

Any more guesses on the year and mint?

OldEastside

Well, I take a guess at 1966 or 67, they kinda have that look, but don't quote me
and no on FS

non-FS for both coins and my guess would be 1968-D or 1968-S.

thinking about LDS coins like this i have always thought that what happens is that the Step area of the die has worn at a much slower rate than the rest of the die and when a press adjustment is made to compensate for the die erosion the un-worn step area of the die imparts a crisp strike. i have seen many coins from the mid/late 1950's with a similar look.

Keets......you're good. Both are 1968-D coins. Obviously, you have looked at a lot of Jefferson's.


btw......what did you think of these SMS Steps

BigDowgie

1968-D eh! That is a toughie! I will try to post my 68-D to see how they compare.
