Stay tuned. HomerunHall plans on making an announcement about this soon. He has heard our prayers and will deliver the decree in the near future. He says "watch the home page."

    Probably for the Full Torch designation on the rosies.

    You have it all wrong.

    The term should be "FTB." FULL TORCH BANDS.

    OR "FBT" FULL BANDS TORCH.

    Why???? You need a distinction between Full Bands for mercs and roosies. So FB is out.

    FT is also out. Full Torch WHAT???????????

    FTB or FBT follows the precedent set by the Franklin halves FBL FULL BELL LINES, also a three letter acronym. Did PCGS call the lines on the Liberty Bell FB (FULL BELL(S) )???? Of course NOT!!

    Add FTB as well as FBT to the poll and I predict overwhelming support for at least one of them.

    I only request that I be annointed as the father of either FTB or FBT or both. image

    If such acronym is selected I only ask for a lifetime of free grading of roosies from PCGS. image

    I believe this is over on the Q&A forum, and my understanding is that the FB is being considered because the Roosie collectors felt it was a better determinant than FT. Sounds sensible to me. I'm curious where or who proposed the "torch" in the first place.

    I wonder why I've never heard anyone talk about "full torch" on Roosey's other than on this board? I had heard that FB, FH etc were collected years ago but FT (or full band or whatever the hell they want to call it)?

    I'm still surprised these "roosey collectors" don't want FULL STRIKE designations. Is that what you are really looking for when it comes to eye appeal on a coin?

    FTB=Full torch bands is best for the roosevelt dime series.

    A futuristic conversation:
    "Oh I just got a new FB dime."
    "Oh really? What grade?"
    "Oh a MS-69FB dime."
    "What??? There are so few MS-69FB Mercuries out there!"
    "Oh sorry, I didn't tell you it was a Roosevelt Dime in FB? Hmm, maybe we should have used that FTB to make it easier? I guess we blew it when we had the chance years ago to call it FTB?"

    But once you know what year it is won't people know which dime it is?

    Pennies make dollars, and dollars make slabs!

    ....inflation must be kicking in again this dollar says spend by Dec. 31 2004!

    FBL=Full Bell Lines...Franklins
    FTB=Full Torch Bands...Roosevelt Dimes
    FB =Full Bands....Mercury Dimes
    FH = Full Head....Standing Liberty Quarter
    DMPL=Deep Mirror Proof Like....Morgan Silver Dollars
    PL =Proof Like .....Morgan Silver Dollars

    If you really prefer FB for Roosevelt dimes to make the symbol 2 letters then you also need to change Franklins to FL or to FB as well. You would then need to be consistent.
    The reality is that no series shares the same symbols. They should have their own. That has been the pattern PCGS has followed up to now. You want to change all that?

    Von Zipper: When someone says they have some nice FB dimes for me to look at I want to be able to know those are mercury dimes without having to ask for the year or series!!
