Rollhunter1994 Valued Member United States 195 Posts	Posted 05/02/2009 11:14 pm I found this with google search. It has a bunch of information on the Mercury dime, and two small pics of a Merc with Full Split Bands and without. http://www.coin-collecting-guide-fo...ry-dime.html Report this Post to the Staff
malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 05/02/2009 11:34 pm so even though there is a ding in one of the bands it counts as full bands as long as they are completely seperate? I thought it had to be perfect bands, fully rounded still and no dings or anything? Am I wrong? Report this Post to the Staff

That coin may have been full bands when it was struck. Malissa, there can be dings on the horizontal bands and it still receive that designation. I believe that dings on the bell lines of a Franklin half would prevent it from qualifying as "full bell lines". Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 05/03/2009 04:40 am I agree, and I'll try some examples. There is an example of a coin that is 'split bands', but not 'Full split bands'. In other words, the bands are kind of full split, but not quite there (better than the picture shows). A completely non-split band coin would have even less divide between the bands, including the top and bottom ones. Edited by coinguybrian 05/03/2009 04:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
