What is the object that the vine on the reverse of the dime is wrapped around?
In Latin that is called a fasces. It is an old Roman item, that very high officials were given. The item was a bundle of sticks tied together that had a blade embedded in it. It works on the idea that a single stick (e.g. person) can be broken, but that a bunch of sticks (people) tied together (by a common outlook/ideology) are very powerful. It is a symbol that has been used by many Roman derived cultures (including the USA). It is the symbol that is the literal basis of fascism.

I thought so. They are not full band but I think they are better than a 66.
Thank you.
