    Unbelievable isn't it? I've actually passed on some nice coins, simply because of the no bands. There tends to be no money in it.

    Well, I can't find it now...but I was sure I read somewhere that if a coin was graded that high, it HAD to have a full strike image

    I was thinking an MS 65 Dime would be low end, and a ms 65FB Dime would be High End for the grade.

    There are several Mercuries that grade 68/69 w/o Fb's too.

    I've accepted the fact that 68/69 dimes have NO FB's. I just think that it is wrong, but what can you do when you grade these dimes for years, then add the FB designation.

    There have been threads regarding this subject, you'll have to do a search.

    Most MS68 mercs that I have seen with the "no band" notation actually have 90+% bands.
    Just not completely full.
    There is only one MS69 no band merc and it has about 70% bands if you go by the heritage photo.
