[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 8171299, member: 90692"]This is a ‘57-D, not an S. Full Bands means several things to different TPGs. The upper and lower horizontal split bands need to be un-occluded, meaning not broken by contact marks or worn down to obliterate the line. There is some leeway given for very light contact marks on the split bands but the lines separating the bands have to be complete from one side to the other. The other focus is on complete vertical torch design bands, and you want these to be as pristine as you can find, with no or very light defects. The TPGs will use this and all their other grading criteria to determine if the coin has full bands, in their opinion. Close-ups of the split bands are needed to properly assess. I see blurry spots on the bands from those full-coin pics. If that is flat spots on the bands, this is not FB. Hopefully another member can point you to the site with the specific criteria, I can’t remember where that is. edited: [USER=117166]@Superloop[/USER] …I tagged you because I added some info.[/QUOTE]
