    What in the heck does a blurry photo have to do with cynicism?

    Better photos would be the only way to be sure but my guess is, unless it look different in better photos, almost full bands but not quite there.

    I'm with the others on this one , a clear shot of mostly the middle band will tell as that's usually the one that is filled in .

    I can't see much except on the far right on the middle of the bands I see what looks like them either blurring together due to the photo or some weakness. I'm not sure either way but probably just the photo. As said by all of us, the only way to get a good answer is to post a better photo.

    I think this one has trouble taking constructive criticism. Either that or he thinks we're clairvoyant.

    Obviously, the blurred photos make it impossible to determine the 'full bands' status.

    Perhaps 'Brayton' has misinterpreted 'Ricks' statement as a sarcastic remark???

    I just love it when people take really bad photos with bad light and no focus at all and expect us to agree with there diagnostics about condition and attribution. It's like going to a doctors office and smearing vaseline on the doctors glasses and then asking them to take a look a problem you have. How can he perform his job while handicapped in such a manner? Do people actually look at their pictures before they post them? I may be nit picky, but I'm a photographer by profession. I think most of these people are taking pictures with their iPhones and doing an instant upload with no review. The Instagram generation.

    I'm not trying to single the OP out, but it's the straw that broke the camels back.

    Geez, I didn't know there were that many dime collectors as have responded to one of the worst photos ever posted.

    They said there weren't that many dime collectors, a la the new silver Roosevelt's, which out pronto, fasto.

    Of course, Mercs are ever popular, so there, obviously, are a lot of MerKers.

    I just started a circulated set, not caring too much about higher grades. I just want a spread of them to look at.

    Perhaps he needs an interpreter, then. :D

    Excuse me but expecting one can evaluate if the bands are full off a photo like this means he doesn't have a clue to begin with. And this isn't the only such thread, there's another recent one on a Morgan Dollar variety he wants attributed. What are we, stuttering? How many times do we have to say the photos have to be clearer? But he gets the slightest suggestion at that and it's as though he takes it as criticism and powders off never to be heard from again until the next set of fuzzy photos he wants us to evaluate. This isn't hard. We can help him. He needs to give us the chance. He needs to help us by giving us clearer photos than this ...

    You almost don't need a clear photo to get it right (no FSB)
    99,999 out of 10,000 on the 1945.

    The 1945 is super rare in FSB.
    How many known??? less then a dozen???
