[QUOTE="rickmp, post: 1371670, member: 28047"]Welcome to CT, Rick. I hope you never have to use your 'chute. First, understand that the Red Book price list is not at all accurate. It's usually much higher than reality. Don't use it to determine value. Other than that, it is the best book you can own. The FB designation refers to the banding around the torch on the reverse of Winged Liberty dimes. A coin with full bands will carry a premium over non full band coins, sometimes a hefty premium. That's why you see two grades (MS65FB and MS65) and two prices. I can see why you are so confused over this. Full bands are only found on extremely well struck coins that have very little to no wear. Because you got your dimes from the junk bin, they are most likely not FB quality. Now, let's see some photos, Rick! BTW. I learned all of this, and more, here on CT! Thanks, everyone![/QUOTE]
