Is this 1945-D merc FSB?

I'm tempted to say it is a 66FB, but I would like your opinions... it is a uniform white on both sides (damn the scanner!)

Thanks,

Dosen't look like it to me. I can see at least one not full band if the picture is accurate.

Looks like they are split to me

looks it to me but there might be a little fuzzyness on the left side of middle band.

Looks FB to me. MS66, can't tell. It's a really nice coin.

I just picked up a Full Split Band PCGS graded Merc, and yours looks better.... Very sharp coin!

I think it is FB as far as the grade goes, I think it's a high end 65.

Cool... got it for $5ish I think quite a while back (year or two...) Maybe if I get to a nice show that ANACS might attend I can see their opinion and possibly put it in some hard plastic (or send it to ACG and get a 69FB)

Do yourself a favor and don't just concentrate on the bands. Look at the strike throughout! In this case, it is a nicely struck coin. You got the coin dirty cheap so whether it's FB or not probably doesn't matter much. Grade? Dunno...can't tell from the photo.
