That it is very close.From one angle the line is fully separated. Then you look at it from the other side and it gas a little notch on the facet. Uhh ever so close. I checked some PCGS 1945s with FBs and some looked worse then this.

I don't think it should be full bands, but it's better struck than 99% of 1945 dimes and should carry some premium regardless.

Used to be you could send in an SEGS-holdered coin to PCGS and specify the minimum crossover grade you would accept; if it didn't make the grade they keep your money and return the coin in the original holder. I would call them and get an update on their current policy. I would NOT crack this coin out for resubmission since you would lose the "official" FB grade with no guarantee that PCGS would then assign FB when they grade it. I doubt very much they will award FB unless they are confident the coin fully meets their criteria.
You might still get a good price for it in the SEGS holder if your intention is to sell.

I am with Jaobler on this; send it in as a minimum crossover, if it does not merit the grade they will send it back as is. I would not shoot for the moon stating a minimum MS67. Others have mentioned MS65 (or lower), that would probably be pretty safe.
I don't think that PCGS would give it the FB though...oh so close! I have been wrong before. Keep us informed regardless.

I have one that is very similar to yours but raw. I was told by more than one person that because of the extreme rarity of 1945 split bands dimes PCGS is sometimes a bit lenient if it is "close enough." It resides comfortably in a blue Capital Plastics 1934 - 45 Mercury dime holder and I have no intention of sending it to PCGS.    |

I'd risk the grading fee on it, regardless of grade. It's this >< close.

I say go for it, I would also keep it in the holder. To much to lose cracking it out..
Best of luck.

If you have an incandescent lamp, try looking at the coin under it to simulate the conditions of the PCGS graders and see what they would see. That would be a pretty accurate prediction of what they would grade it and if they would see the FB or not.

Yeah, SEGS was generous on the FB. I don't think the middle one is.
This has the potential of a PCGS MS66 IMHO.

Can you crack it open and just add the line yourself? Just kidding, nice coin but I think the 67 is a bit high.
