Great looking piece. Congrats.

Sometimes the steps show well and sometimes not. Depends on what you are trying to highlight in the photos I suppose. Without concentrating solely on the steps, you may not get a good idea of how they really look. As good as any pics may be, there is never any substitute for an in hand inspection. A good look at the steps requires a loupe.

The rules did not specifically state that I had to post a coin, so, if no one objects:

No objections here Bob. Thanks for joining in. 

I get a silver proof set every year from the mint. I quit getting the clad sets after the added W coins were done. I also get the Innovation $ proof & reverse proof sets as well. I really wanted the W uncirculated nickel that was supposed to come with the proof set in 2020. That was a bummer. 

Nice little change find tonight. Not in too bad of shape. Even filled an empty hole in the Whitman album.

I believe that will qualify as "No FG" at NGC. Bear in mind, however, that such minor die states carry very little premium value.

I see several No FG coins accompanied by the floating roof. Are these usually found together on most of the No FG coins or are there multiple die pairs that struck these coins with some having the floating roof and some not? 

Congrats on the new piece and new rank. Being in the top 5 of any registry category is quite an achievement in my eyes. Even if it’s not your goal. Nice work.
