    IMHO, no. There is not a clear and distinct separation.i

    I would say no from the picture.

    “I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong.”

    “Then you trust more to your imagination than to your knowledge?”

    “I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

    Albert Einstein- quoted in Saturday Evening Post interview (1929)

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

    OK, not FB on the OP's coin: WHY?

  • DIMEMANDIMEMAN Posts: 22,403 ✭✭✭✭✭

  • chumleychumley Posts: 2,305 ✭✭✭✭

  • Coin FinderCoin Finder Posts: 7,297 ✭✭✭✭✭

  • topstuftopstuf Posts: 14,803 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The hits just left of center plus the weakness at the far left. How"s that?

    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?

  • topstuftopstuf Posts: 14,803 ✭✭✭✭✭

    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!

    Not FSB... middle and top bands are compromised. Cheers, RickO

  • LindeDadLindeDad Posts: 18,766 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Only middle band is graded at PCGS.

    If you have to ask, then the answer is "No."

  • Nope, not FSB/FB.

    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.

  • ajaanajaan Posts: 17,510 ✭✭✭✭✭

    OK, thanks. No FSB, I get it.
