    When you pull up a 1944 dime in your collection program and it brings up the following:

    1. PCGS-65 mottled green obverse/white blazer reverse. bands 90% split.
    PCGS-65FB satin obverse with no toning/ blazing white reverse. bands are only 99% FSB.
    PCGS-66FB superb white blazer with an excellent strike/ nice consistent metal flow on both sides.
    NGC-67 superb strike and nice golden peripheral toning on obv/reverse is dull white.
    NGC-67 dark red peripheral toning with an awesome golden mottled reverse/ 90% FSB
    NGC-68 superb strike/ nice chrome like cartwheel luster, reminds me of a liquid inside thermometers.

    Adrian:
    When one specimen of a certain date is not enough and you start collecting by toning,metal flow,
    grading service/ and grade; you know that you have reached a level of insanity from which there is
    no return. Consider me certifiable or is it certified?
