Full bands or not?

I am considering buying this coin and wonder what your thoughts are on whether it is FB or not. It is a date I've had some trouble finding in FB. And looks like a decent example.

Looks good to me.

 

Looks good to me as well. What area are you questioning the FB?

 

no from me, left side is too weak IMO

 

Center bands.

 

I thought so too. I thought the bands also looked a little funny. I wondered if someone had messed with them to try to make them look FB.

 

No to me but due to the center band. Thst was the first thing I noticed and I believe that would hold it back from FB.

 

This one is a little grainy, but it does look like the left side may be a little weak

It's too bad, it's a tough one in FB. price goes up almost 10x over the current asking price if it hits FB

 

Center bands look like they either took a hit, or just not struck up enough.
They look bridged center left.
What year @kazuma78 ?

 

No. Center band damaged and would be disqualified as FB, IMO.

 

1945

 

Looks like a decent consensus. Thanks! I'll leave it alone for now then.

 

I thought it looked odd too and that's why I was wondering if someone tampered with it maybe.

 

Put me in the no column as well. Sorry.

 

I'm a no as well. Center bands are not uninterrupted

 

I've found a couple recently, a 1943 S and a 1944 D

 

From where I'm sitting, I'd say those are winners!
