All of those designations are silly. I have seen full heads, full bands, etc where the rest of the coin just doesn't make the cut. Why not full horn designations for Buffs? Of course, that would be silly too.
I don't agree with a "full strike" designation either. The problem is: WHERE DO YOU DRAW THE LINE? Strike is part of the grade equation. Simple as that. The rest is a sucker's game.
There is no "AT" or "NT". We only have "market acceptable" or "not market acceptable.

I agree in that you don't DRAW THE LINE at all. You just let the market price "decide" whether it's worthy. It's really the only way get away from the questionable designations AND problem of "FH but not Full Strike" thing.
