FB Roosys

Ok, I know how to identify FB on a Mercury... now how bout on a Roosy? How do you spot Full Bands? Is it the same criteria, but it's on that top band of the torch?

    And they must be split from edge to edge (field to field), that's the only way I'll send them for grading. (They all get FB too)
    Though I have seen some less then that and still get FB (must have had a power outage that day).

    Most of the time you will be looking at the lower band, but don't forget to look at the top one (any dings or scratchs and it may fail)
