Hi guys,
Went to my favorite LCS today. She had these in the "Circulated" tray. At $5 a piece. Couldn't believe it! To me, these certainly look more like Uncirculated. Also, I cherry picked these not only because of its dazzling appearance for the money but I thought the two are surely "Full Split Bands"? What do you guys say? Did I do good?
Thank You.

    Hard to grade from those pictures, but my guess:

    1942-D: MS63 full bands
    1945-D: MS65 full bands

    .

    No need to show closeups of the top and bottom bands. They’re meaningless with respect to the “FB” designation - only the middle ones matter.

    Nice deal Joey.
    I think the 45D may be a just miss on the FB.

    Ya did good. Lots a coin bang 💥there for five bucks a pop.

    Jesus said, "You see the mote in your brother's eye, but you do not see the beam in your own eye. When you cast the beam out of your own eye, then you will see clearly to cast the mote from your brother's eye."
    ---Gospel of Thomas (Lamdin translation)

    mr1931s says, "A small bank account is not proof that one does not understand the true dollar value of a collectible coin regardless of what a propped-up market thinks. This is true while contemplating the value of the least expensive collectible coins to those valued at millions of dollars."

    Thanks, for some reason, I keep forgetting this? Do you know how many people reminded me of this, including you? Lol.
    Don't get old.
    Thanks ;)
