MatthewDM11 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I want to submit some nickels with FS but I do not know if NGC will automatically grade them FS or if FS is a designation that cost extra like variety plus. GoldFinger1969 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkFeld Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 The designation, if merited, shouldn't require a “variety plus” submission. GoldFinger1969 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lem E Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 You may or may not already know this but the FS designation is only given to business strike coins. Proof coins will not receive the designation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted July 10, 2022 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted July 10, 2022 The graders looks for strike characters such as 5FS, FB, PL, etc. automatically when grading raw coins, and there is no extra charge. If you have a coin already certified by NGC, then you would have to get it regraded when seeking such add ons.

RWB Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 "Does NGC automatically grade FS (full steps) on nickels...?" Not usually on Buffalo nickels, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wtf, that is so weird he would go through the trouble of changing someone’s post… I am thinking it might be some advanced bot.

I hope you did not think that I was talking to you. I was referring to JamesBell, who, as you stated, is possibly not even a real person. The post has been reported, and hopefully we will not be bothered by him/it again. Did you ever submit those full step nickels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever submit those full step nickels? I did! I made several submissions and have been happy with the results. The only gripe I had was a 1942-P came back graded 67+ but no FS designation when it clearly is FS. Fortunately when I sent it in for a regrade, it came back with a FS grade. Here are my two favorites that I got back. Lem E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
