COINS MAKE CENTSCOINS MAKE CENTS Posts: 1,861 ✭✭✭✭✭

Are all jefferson nickels know to have a few examples of full steps? Or are there some dates that have no examples of full steps? Does anyone have a list of dayes without known steps if any exsist

    If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

    Are there any years in the 60's with lots of FS?

    Since proofs are supposed to be well struck, what if a proof does not have a FS, would that be considered a rarity ? I don't have an example, just curious.

    The 1938's and many 1939, 1940's have the first version of steps that are wavy - it is hard to actually determine what a full step is, even when looking at the proofs.

    Some members told me that the above example was not FS after I asked for their "expert" advice.
    I quess "some" of our members just don't have a clue?

    That's a nice set of steeps looks good to me.

    Not really.
    1962 is the most commonly found FS nickel in the decade.
    I don't know the pop without looking, but it certainly isn't "common," although probably hundreds exist in slabs and many more raw.
    But it still isn't what I would call common, as far as popular US coin series go.
    Most if not all FS Jeff's of the 60s (that do exist) are much scarcer than 16-D Mercs or S VDBs.

    @Raybo... Sure looks like FS to me.... As to the FS feature, I would think die wear in this area would be rather fast also considering the alloy. Cheers, RickO

    FS for sure, and I'm thinking it is a 40 or 41 D as I find those some of the best struck Jefferson's out there IMO
