Did Pcgs miss the FB??/udpdated

I did not have this graded. do you think Pcgs should have graded it full bands??

The top band looks good to me, bottom band does not look complete.

 

Great looking "W" dime and you got a high grading to boot. good for you!! I have to agree that the bottom band is a little below par.

 

Do TPG's charge extra money for designations like FB?


Where I am going with this is maybe someone just did not want to pay extra. I could be completely wrong though.

 

The top band looks fine, but the bottom band appears to fade a little together towards the right. I could see this coin going either way...it's pretty full but I would say not completely full.

No, it's considered part of the grade.

 

seems odd to me. If the coin had the FB I'd say "yea that seems right". Maybe I am missing something.

 

I was under the impression that roosies were grated FT for Full Torch

 

It's a great looking coin but I have to agree with those who feel the lower band if not complete.

 

PCGS does FB or Full Bands
NGC does FT or Full Torch.

NGC is harder to get the FT just like with the FBL of the franklins

The bottom band is not complete IMO.

 

I was thinking the same thing on the bottom band. It's a very nice coin however. :thumb:

 

Phoenix! I haven't seen you around here in quite some time. Welcome back my friend!!!

 

Here some better photo of the bands

 

This is my understanding.

CamaroDMD, can you reference something that says it's automatic.
I'll accept anything that is essentially the same. FBL, FS, FH, etc.

 

It is not listed as an additional fee on their website. If you look here you see "additional services" for "VARIETY ATTRIBUTION" and "FIRST STRIKE DESIGNATION." The list of varieties has nothing to do with FBL ect. but is about VAMs, Overton #s, ect.

Vam & Overton # you have pay for detail I sure of that.:kewl:

 

You do, that's exactly what their website says (among other specific attributions). It says nothing about additional fees for FBL, FH, FB, ect. which I'm almost certain are part of the normal grading process.

 

It is on the form you fill out that you download for the TPG site. that were I found it

 

Thank you. ^_^ It's good to be back.
