    I would say no from the picture.

    "Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."
    -Albert Einstein-

    Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.

    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.

    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.
