Will this dime get "FB"

I thought the Roosies got "Full Torch" and the Mercs got "Full Bands"?

Wow, worst strike I have ever seen. Grease do you think?

 

yup

 

NGC Does FB(Full Band) for Mercs and FT (Full Torch) for Roosevelts but PCGS does FB for both.

 

Me too so I looked it up, never to old to learn

This is the second one I've found, I think the may be eating their hoagies or cheese steak over the dies

 

I'd much rather have an interesting conversation piece like this than pocket change designated FB/FT. I think I will hold out on slabbed Roosies until they come out with "full eyebrows".

 

Yeah, well that's not saying much! PCGS still believes that Frankies have only one set of bell lines.

I know ya'll figured out this out, but here's a PCGS FB that I have right now..aint she purdy

 

If this was graded FSB it would be a hoot!

 

dwhiz , nice dime , I love the meat in the center and the flatness of the lettering . Cool find .

 

Yes, this coin would probably qualify for the FT designation.... and is a perfect example of the problems with strike designations.

 

Close up of the torch

 

Don't the flames on the torch have to be fully separated too ?

 

You are really enjoying the magnifying glass thing since you discovered it huh, hehe. I have to admit it's pretty sweet.

 

No.

Thanks , I don't collect Rosies , but I thought I heard "Full Torch" for a designation . Guess only NGC has to have the torch lines seperated , so no is only correct for PCGS not NGC which is a lot stricter .

 

Traditionally, NGC has been more strict on FBL for Franklins as well... BUT then we have stuff like this get into FBL holders. Lol.

 

Must have been graded on a Monday morning .
