Don’t know anything about Mercs, thanks in advance for you input/ insight:
UPDATE:
It graded FB, although numerically I thought it would grade higher (but I know nothing about this series). I knew when submitting it wasn’t a valuable coin however it was a freebie from pcgs, so why not. I picked it up on a whim for I think $25-$30 because I liked the color and it’s been sitting in a capital plastic holder in a shoebox for over 20 yrs. Thanks everyone for your input, here she is:

Show full pictures first, then the area of concern. And you show 2 of 3 bands. If you mean just the middle one then say so.

Yes
Obviously, they are just images, albeit rather good images. I believe it would go FB.

Yes.
It is not always the middle band that is the determiner, and there are three bands to look at and the image shows only two.
Looks good to me.
I'm in for a no.
Let's see, it's being graded in the morning on an even day in an odd month in a non-leap year. Let me check my reference book ... No.
If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

Almost there, but not quite complete.

Yes, but close.
Is it a 1945?
Only the central bands are considered for FB.
If it's not FB it's pretty dang close.
Collector, occasional seller
If it isn't unc and not a key date does it matter?
Update in opening post
The is a wonderful looking True View. Does the coin look like that or even better?
congrats on FB
Thanks, it’s been mostly misses for me with the TVs lately, but I think they did a good job with this one overall, although this coin has better luster and more vibrant color in hand, those details are tough to capture.
