I am putting together a Mercury Dime set with all Full Bands and the various varieties. I noticed some of the names listed above me have regular Mercs and they aren't "Full Bands" but are still listed in my grouping. How can this be? Please expain. I would think if the title of the registry set says "full bands" than that is what the set should have. Let me know what I'm missing.

Thanks in advance from Mike

    They're pretty much the same just that you earn a 2 or 3 point bonus for F/B in the F/B set.

    Mike,

    There used to only be the FB set. You get extra points for full band coins. An example would be a 1916 dime in MS65FB would get you 67 points in no bands it would get 65 points. You can enter either full or no band coins is either full or no band sets. It should all be about having fun. My set is possibly one of the sets higher than yours, but you will pass me by at some point, as my goals are lower than many others, but I am still having fun! Buy what you like and have fun.
