1945 Mercury dime w/ FB

gigem

I'm looking at the PCGS online price guide, and they show a crazy high value for the 1945 Mercury dime with full bands. See the image below for a (poor) image of my 45 Mercury dime. Are these full bands? Is this thing really worth big money?

The image was done with a scanner, and the coin is in an old plastic holder. But they look split to me. Did I win the lottery here?

Here's the link (finger's crossed)...

No

No lottery. The FB designation is for the center bands to be fully split/rounded.

Your center bands are as flat as a pancake

Damn, back to work on Monday!

Thanks for the info though...

For a 45-P it's pretty sell struck, but nothing special.

Just once, it would be nice to see one of

working folks hit an unexpected bonanza. Oh, well.

I found a MS-64 FB for 4 bucks at a coin shop, now sits in a PCGS holder.
