Even though this is new does it still count for FS? 1 1

I recently received a 2021 D Jefferson Nickel that has extremely good quality. Even though it’s new, would it’s reverse be considered full steps?

Nice. I would like to think it is a FS. Did you find your nickel in pocket change? I recently opened a mint roll of 2003-D nickels and found 7 out of 40 FS keepers.

I hope so I have put aside 2 rolls of newer random dates of FS nickels and FB dimes I have found while cherry picking. I also save all the 2017 P pennies I find, maybe they all will be worth more down the line.

Yep got it in change last week!

I must have been in a time warp. I thought nickels had the shield reverse. I’m ready to be beaten. How did I miss this🙀😂

Looks pretty good to me. I would give it 6FS.

 couldn't resist..... sorry.....

I'm going to say this is definitely a Full Steps nickel.  The obverse appears to have taken a slight beating though.

YES IT WOULD good find bud!

My associate has been throwing pennies at me since I posted this. I don’t even drink just old age.  I have no excuse so let the beatings resume. ( Honestly it cracks me up too)🤓🙀😂

I think the coin would be considered as FS but the fingerprints and overall condition reduce the grade enough that I would not consider it a candidate for slabbing; just my opinion.

The design was refreshed a few years ago. All the ones with Jefferson's 3/4 view in my pocket change have compete steps.

[Mr.Bill347]

Thanks RWB that’s what was initially thinking. Since I have the complete Jefferson set, with many proof and Bu, would it be worth the time to go through them all for this purpose ?

Every nickel in that 2003-D mint roll had full steps. I only kept seven of them out of that roll I think would grade MS65 or better. The bad condition nickels have been returned to circulation.
