  yes, I believe it does.
  Further, it appears to be fully struck elsewhere as well, including the knob at base of torch, flame details, leaf details, etc.

  Has anyone come up with a price guide for full band Roosevelts yet? Which dates are hard? I keep asking these questions but I get no real answers. mike

  Steve, the dime you've posted appears to me to be a clad dime. If so, the problem areas on clad dime reverse are on the extreme sides of the lower bands. If you look dead-on, it does appear to be FB but if you tilt the coin and look to see how the very ends of the bands "curl over the edge" on either side, you may see a bridgeatthat point - not uncommon on clad dimes. This is very different tha silver dimes which do not suffer from this problem.......silver dimes tend to suffer from bridges in the bands more toward the center portions of the lower bands rather than the extreme ends. Check it out!
