FB, no FB, or mix it up?

Any thoughts on whether I should go all FB, no FB, or mix it up? Im trying to get a set registry going(as most of you know). Its kinda messing with my mind on what I should do.

Simple decision (at least for me) -> Buy the nicest coin that fits into your set and into your budget. If it has full bands, then that is an added bonus.

I belive pcgs started using FB on Roosevelts only a couple years ago maybe less.
So there might be a good amount of FB's in pcgs holders that are not marked so.

FB's are great, but are even greater when they're on fully struck gems. Look for the best
strikes you can afford and most will have FB's. Even when they don't you'll still have a de-
sirable coin.

best coin you can afford.
if ya get a modern MS69 for 20 bucks then by all means.
when i did my Walker short set (20 coins) way back,it had 4 MS64 and 16 MS65,at that time the other 4 coins were about an 8000.00 up grade !

Buy what you like. If you like pretty toned coins, PCGS MS67 non-band coins are going for nothing.....or if you like all white, do that. Based on goin rates I would:

1. MS67 non-band coins (under $100 ea)
2. MS66FB coins...many or almost the same price as MS66 non-band coins so at this grade level, a no-brainer.

My only advice is buy the nicest coins you can afford...do not sstart filling holes with crappy coins....you can't find a nice 1949-S< wait till you can - be picky!

I had my Roosies done before the FB designation started. I decided at that point I'm not playing the designation game with the Roosies
or any new designations in the future. But that's just me.........

I think ill just mix it up and go with whatever I like.
