Well now that I have your attention, this is the best 1969-S detail I've ever seen on the steps, fully struck 6-6-5-6 and no bridging. Unfortunately the hits disqualifies it but there is hope a true Full Steps coin might be out there!

A strike like that on a 1969-S Nickel id truly amazing. Too bad about the hit on the steps.

Thank you @MsMorrisine ! Yes the 5th step connects on section 3 when the coin is in hand.
Possible mechanical error, is actually a proof?
No just a very early die state that is PL.
Wow!
I've seen a 6 4 5 6 with no bridging but this is the closest I've seen. It could be the same dies.
It's a very nice PL which are "common" for the date.
Wow. It's possible! Where did you find it?
Sure looks like a slightly impaired proof.
I like 👍
I'm confident it originated in a mint set. There are some rolls of this date but I've never seen a '69-S Gem made for circulation.
Nice
I tend to be overly critical on step counting and only see 6-4-4-4.
