If you haven't noticed, I'm single and miserable and I've got four albums of bitching about it that I would offer as proof.

Where's the rub?
For what I paid, I'm still happy with it, but I think I'll go for a slabbed one next time. It's too hard to judge condition with Ebay pictures for something like this.

Now I'm confused. You wanted a FB merc and you are bidding on another one of those other *defective* non-FB mercs?

For that matter, even if it was FB you still have striking problems over at 2 to 3 o'clock on the reverse. So if you had paid FB money for the coin you are paying too much for this one even if it was FB, IMO.
Either way, it is more important whether YOU like the coin....

I think he needs to get a slabbed Merc in his hands to see the difference. Then venture into the Raw coins. Full Bands on this date does not mean a whole bunch at this level.
Bet ya get outbid. Your bid is not even one bid increment higher than the underbidder. If he is on the ball he will outbid you and win the coin cheaply. If not good for you.....

Actually, I can't complain about the coin. It's damn nice, even if though isn't FB. And for what I paid for it, it's hard to argue I got screwed badly. I just think the seller (who actually seems like a nice enough guy -- very attentive in e-mails and communicative) didn't look at the coin closely enough when he said "full bands". Maybe that's being too lenient, but it just doesn't look like he was intentionally dishonest.

Regardless of what the seller told you it comes down to what you paid. I don't think (although I'm not entirely sure) the prices for most of the late date Mercs have a small spread between FB and non-FB (there are exceptions like the 45-P however). In many cases even the spread between the mid-range MS grades aren't that much different. In the long run, as long as you LIKE the coin, it probably isn't going to matter much.
