Just got here Registered: 04/20/10 Posts: 0	I am trying to grade my nickels; but i do not know what MS6FS means? I am looking through the price guide trying to figure out the worth of my nickels and I keep coming across the MS6FS. What does that mean and how do I know if I have an MS6FS nickel?

Registered: 02/05/11 Posts: 240 Loc: Oklahoma	Full Steps (FS) designation means that all 6 steps in front of Monticello go all the way across the front stairway, no nicks, interruptions, smudges, or weakness. It's a pretty difficult thing to get on older nickels, but that's what keeps coin collecting fun. _________________________
