<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 3336245, member: 19165&quot;]No, that is not totally correct. Full Bands (FB) is the designation for Mercury Dimes at both NGC and PCGS. Roosevelt Dimes are designated Full Torch (FT) at NGC, but Full Bands (FB) at PCGS. ANACS uses FSB, Full Split Bands, for both Mercury and Roosevelt.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the Roosevelt, the Full Bands designation is given at PCGS if both sets of horizontal lines are split. At NGC, Full Torch is only given if both sets of horizontal lines are split, *as well as all of the vertical lines.* (Yet again, the NGC designation is more strict, higher quality, and more desirable). You can see the excellent article that NGC published explaining the difference and the criteria here: <a href="https://coinweek.com/us-coins/modern-dime-designations-what-are-full-bands-and-full-torch/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coinweek.com/us-coins/modern-dime-designations-what-are-full-bands-and-full-torch/" rel="nofollow">https://coinweek.com/us-coins/modern-dime-designations-what-are-full-bands-and-full-torch/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
