    Nor would I. But what about the other 2 bands ?

    You've only pictured one set of bands on the two dimes, and not the entire reverse.

    Just based on what you've pictured, I agree with Koin and Doug no full bands.

    All it takes is for any one of the three to be broken and the coin is not FB.

    The only reason I commented about the other bands are because there are 3 bands on each coin. And to call a coin FB if only 1 set of bands are clear and unbroken - which is the way PCGS does it - is like saying that a glass is full when it is only half full.

    I too, asked about the other bands, and had hoped you would have shown the entire reverse of the coin, instead of selected portions of it.

    But no matter, as Doug stated, and I agree, one break or any bridging in any one set of the bands, is not a FB.

    Any chance of seeing the entire coin both sides?
