Message:: [QUOTE="Chip Kirkpatrick, post: 4079005, member: 101265"]quite frankly I had no idea what it’s potential value was. That’s why I asked the question. Also, I have not seen anything in researching a full band dime that even suggests that a coin must be MS to qualify for the label. Nor that a coin must have a value of $150+ to substantiate the cost of grading. And since I have little interest in selling my coins, I fail to understand why anyone should care if I decide to spend the money to do so. I might simply like the idea of having a graded coin. now I’m not trying to be insulting, I’m only asking a question which obviously I did not have the answer to. Which is simply is that a full band dime. It appears to me, to be one. A simple yes or no would suffice. But there are too many respondents on this forum who seem to enjoy flouting their knowledge by insulting the people who are trying to learn something. I know you are flooded with people who erroneously think they can retire because they found an odd looking coin which had little to no value. I simply am trying to siphon off a bit of your knowledge but there can be a very slight difference between the trash and the treasure. I still have no idea the differences between cracks, breaks, strike throughs and scratches. They basically look the same to me. But learning some of the lessons that can be learned from this site can be very very unnecessarily challenging[/QUOTE]
