Hmmm... Do y'all see these Mercury dime bands as fully split?

As heck I can't even locate 2 round top loaves of bread anywhere :p

Guess it should be labeled as (1916-45) too.

    This holder needs to be holdered as a holder error. 2 errors for the price of 1!

    What if someone has the matching planchet that got the other part of the design, and it had full bands?🤔

    Obviously the grader had 1916 on his mind. Maybe the coin before this was a 16. Just saying. Peace Roy

    Did 1916 have a unique font on the lettering?

    If that is not a mechanical error, then I would sure like to know how they determined the date and why they gave it FB. Cheers, RickO

    They're split bands, alright. They split right out of there.

    Or, based on the date designation the grader must have been psychic, so I guess the bands are fair game as well.

    Definitely not 95%, lock 92.5% for sure.

    Something just doesn't smell right about this coin.**** It was probably graded on a Friday of a three day weekend, you know how those days are.

    The 2 letters visible on the obverse look doubled.

    When the certification is verified by putting in the cert number, it comes back as a no date MS63.

    I suspect the coin was called back for relabeling.
