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.

I would say no from the picture.

Just sayin' -- these are superlative pictures, of very nice coins. Judging only from the reverses, these would be a pleasure to own.
OK, not FB on the OP's coin: WHY?
NOT EVEN CLOSE.
I see cuts in the top and middle bands
no it is not in my opinion
I'm surprised it wasn't melted for bullion.
I mean.... sheeeeezzee.
"What fools these mortals be"..... Puck
The hits just left of center plus the weakness at the far left. How"s that?
Ken
So I'm a fool for asking a question? I guess we aren't all knowing like you.

This. NFB
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

Not FSB... middle and top bands are compromised. Cheers, RickO
Only middle band is graded at PCGS.
If you have to ask, then the answer is "No."
Nope, not FSB/FB.
Not FB
And the middle band has the big nick in it. Peace Roy
