<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fullbands, post: 186596, member: 7437&quot;]Sorry for the confussion Jim C.&nbsp; I should have done a better job of explaining the rarity in the fully struck, split bands in the center of the fasces.&nbsp; My bad.&nbsp; </p><p>I wholly agree with the old adage, &quot;buy the coin, not the grade&quot;.&nbsp; I wish I had the opportunity to examine a hand full of graded, FSB 45-P dimes so as to formulate a comparative opinion.&nbsp; I never will be able to do that.&nbsp; Are they over valued?&nbsp; If its your opinion that they are, then that&#039;s the opinion that matters the most in the decision to buy one.&nbsp; If you seperate the strike of the bands from the strike of the rest of the dime, then I can see how you may feel like it shouldn&#039;t command that kind of premium.&nbsp; That&#039;s a fair assessment.&nbsp; </p><p>I don&#039;t have the means to own one right now.&nbsp; But if money were not a consideration, I would not feel bad about adding one to my permanent collection at this level.&nbsp; It isn&#039;t going down anytime soon.&nbsp; Its the one coin I&#039;ve stayed curious enough about to track over the last 18 years.&nbsp; It&#039;s not going to be found by the roll in somebody&#039;s hoard.&nbsp; They just aren&#039;t out there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rick L.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
