    Does this coin exhibit FSB? I'm good at determining them on Mercs but on Roosies I'm not quite sure what NGC/PCGS are looking for to grant the "FT/FB" Attribute (and if the coin does, is it worth sending in to get slabbed?)

    Thanks,

    PCGS designates FT as:
    "The PCGS "Full Bands" designation for Roosevelts requires that both the upper and lower pair of bands on the torch be distinct and show full separation. The line dividing the bands must be complete and unbroken."

    The dings on your bands would disqualify it as FT.

    I agree with gbroke, the top bands will hold it back from FT/FB.
