I am interested in communicating with other Jeff collectors that have or are interested in 6 step nickels.
- What dates do you consider available in 6 steps
- List of 6 step dates you currently own
- List of 6 step dates you have seen or owned in the past, or have heard of
- What dates do you think should have 6 steps but you have not seen one
- What date do you consider available in 6 steps: 39PS R40, 40PDS, 41PD, 42PD T1, 42S, 43PDS, 44PD, 45PDS, 46PD, 47D, 48D, 49D, 50D, 51D, 57P, 58PD, 59P, 68S, 70S, 71PD, 72PD, 73PD, 75P, 76D, 77PD, 79P, 80D, 82PD, 83D, 84PD, 85P, 86PD. All dates 87-03PD are available in 6 steps.
- List of 6 step dates you currently own: All coins in PCGS holders unless otherwise noted. 39P R40 66FS, 39S R40 65FS, 40PD 67FS, 40S 66FS, 41P 66FS, 41D 67FS, 42T1 65FS, 42D 67FS, 42S 66FS, 43P66FS, 43DS67FS, 44P 65FS, 44D 67FS, 45P 66FS, 46P 65FS, 46D 66FS, 48D 65FS, 57P 65FS, 58D 66FS, 59P 65FS, 70S 65FS, 71P 67FS, 71D 66FS, 72PD 65FS, 73P 67FS, 73D 65FS, 76D 64FS, 77D 65FS, 80D ANACS 64 6 STEPS, 82P 65FS, 83D 65FS, 84P 67FS, 84D 64FS, 85P ANACS 64 6 STEPS, 86PD 64FS
- List of 6 step dates you have seen or owned in the past or have heard of: I have heard of a 41S in an NGC67FS holder (should have bought that one!), have seen a 45S NGC 67FS (wished I could have bought that one), have seen a 75P, have seen a 77P (a MS65+ coin).
- What dates do you think should have 6 steps but you have not seen one. Full step nickel club lists the 38P and 39D as being available in 6 steps but I have not seen any. I have seen a 5.5 38P. I have a 39D R40 that is a 5.5 step coin in my registry set. I know that NGC has graded 42P T2 coins as FS (old holders) that may be 6 steps but I have never seen one. I have never seen a 44S in 6 steps but think it may exist. I think that 47D's and 49D's are available in 6 steps but have never seen them. I think that 58P's and 59D's may also be available in 6 steps but I have not seen any.
It my opinoin that the 68-70DS business strike coins because of there unique strike characteristics very likely are all available in 6 steps (or if a FS coin exists for it it would be 6 steps). While I have only seen about 20-25 coins in FS for these dates (68S/70S mostly) it appears that they all have 5.5 steps or better. I don't think 68-70DS FS coins exist with just 5 steps (or highly unlikely). Obtaining 6 step coins from 71P - 86P has been very challenging for me. 71P's are probably the easiest. Every other date is much harder. 77Ds are sometimes availabe, along with 71D's and 84P's.

I agree with all the dates you listed as available in 6 and have heard of only a few other dates that were/are supposed to have them but no proof.
In 6 steps, I currently have a 39rev40, 40PDS, 41PD, 42Dty1, 43D, 73P, and all dates/mm from 87 to present. These are all raw.
Slabbed, I only have a few: 40D-66FS, 41D-66FS, 43P-66FS, 44P-66FS.
I've heard tell there's a 53P 6 stepper out there (you know which one I'm talking about) but I've not seen it. There is an individual that specializes in Jeffs that has a 41S-65FS PCGS, and a 43S-67FS PCGS. He also has a 46D, 47D, and 51D in 6FS PCGS slabs for sale(or had, as they may have been sold).
And I agree with your reasoning concerning unseen 6 steppers and the availability of dates 68 thru 70.
