Can you help grade this 1916 Winged Liberty Plz

Trish picked this up last year sometime for her type set, I honestly have no clue when it comes this series. I have no idea what to look for, on strike, luster, etc.

These two pics are kinda dark, I also have one other picture of each side uploaded that I can post if it will help out, or I can try to take better pictures of any area if that will also help out. I'm still not that use to taking pictures of silver, I've really only been working on copper coins since I got this digi camera.

Well thanks again.
Ron and Trish

    Although it's close, IMO, it's not FB. With the contact marks, etc. on the obverse, I'm guessing it would go 3. Caveat; I don't do much w Mercs.

    My guess is also 64-65. Close to if not full bands.

    this coin would be a "liner" when it comes to FB or not. I give it a 60% shot at being FB on any given day at PCGS or NGC.

    Thanks guys, what exactly determines FB, is it the just the middle bands or is it a combination of all three?
    She is happy with it. She wants me to post a pic of her buff nick next, but I'll do that one in another thread.

    Thanks again all.

    Looks 63FB to me.

    PCGS and NGC only look at the middle set of bands for the full band designation. Most collectors want all three sets split.

    I see a solid strike on this one, I do see Full Bands....... Fields are good, however, the ticks in the cheek area hurt this nice coin,
    with that said, I think it misses GEM status, I have this one as a ms64fb coin...
