    I would say no from the picture.

    Aristotle said, “No democracy can exist unless each of its citizens is as capable of outrage at injustice to another as he is of outrage at injustice to himself.”

    Just sayin' -- these are superlative pictures, of very nice coins. Judging only from the reverses, these would be a pleasure to own. :smile:

    So I'm a fool for asking a question? I guess we aren't all knowing like you.

    Yes. The hits across the two bands. Did you guess that @ajaan?

    My comment referred to judging coins by minutiae.
    Full steps
    Full bands
    Full bells
    Full heads

    Full of it.
    When I started collecting that dime was a ...gem!

    Center band, all the way on the left is not distinct.

    I agree. Unless this has changed.

    Full Bands
    Mercury Head Dimes: The central bands on the fasces on the reverse should be completely separated from left to right, without any breaks, marks or gaps. Note: PCGS may designate in grades of 60 and higher.
