<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 2159634, member: 29751&quot;]Many of you <a href="http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&amp;Number=6615136" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&amp;Number=6615136" rel="nofollow">may be interested in this article/thread I wrote up on the NGC forums a couple years back</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS assigns the Full Bands designation to Mercury Dimes more often than NGC does (proportion wise) <b>for all years and at all grade levels</b> (across the board).&nbsp; This lead me to the final determination that, indeed, PCGS and NGC must use different standards despite the lack of published information on their grading standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was an article back in 2000 (detailed in my write-up) that showed pictures and offered information on the differing standards for split bands versus fully split (and rounded) bands.&nbsp; That picture is also included in my write-up.</p><p><br /></p><p>If there is enough interest, I could update the article and republish it here on this forum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
