    Hello again everyone! In my travels today I found myself some time to swing by the LCS and grabbed a bunch of "cull" items. In the lot, I found this Merc that I think I got for a nice deal. Would you consider this to be full bands? Considering it was lumped in with others at $2/each, I think I did ok whether it is or isn't FB.

    I also got a morgan to practice the acid dip on, so that should be interesting. Anyways, thanks again! 20240214_162723.jpg 20240214_160639.jpg 20240214_160628.jpg

    Looks like it was minted by a worn die but I think it just misses full bands.

    It's easy to over exagerate a mark on the centerband, it is iffy.

    I've learned during my "Full-step" Jefferson adventures that, even if I'm sure it's FS, it's probably not.
    So that looks FB to me, but it's probably not.

    Don't think it is FB. Mark in the middle prevents it.

    I had my hopes up for my first FB Merc, but I did grab it from a cull so I'm not upset at all with it. Thanks everyone for chiming in and helping! This truly is an awesome community, and I'm glad to be a part of it!
