just an FYI, the chance of finding a SB on a circulated coin with this much wear is zero Datguy.

It would seem that you do not understand what Full Bands really are. They are the 3 horizontal bands.  None of them on this dime are full. The middle one is basically gone altogether. This is full bands.  |

bobby131313. just to clarify. the example you posted is indeed a FB coin. however I don't want the OP to think that all 3 bands need to be fully separated at least for PCGS. according to their guidelines NGC requires all 3 bands to be separated. PCGS only requires the middle band. from my standpoint I want all 3 to assign the designation. I would have thought that PCGS would be more stringent on these but thats not the case
only MS60 coins and above can receive the designation with the exception of the 16D, 1942/1 and 1942/1-D overdates which can be as low as AU50

I'm no expert by any means, but it would seem that the middle is the highest/first to go. It always seems to be the worst on circulated dimes from what I remember.
I will now look closer in my travels and see if I can find one with the middle not being the worst.

 1943S, would it be worth while to pay $65 to have this PCGS or NGC graded? Thank you RJ |

consider the following for having a coin professionally graded two reasons to slab 1. its a rare coin that needs authenticated and preserved 2. you are planning on selling the coin and the cost of acquisition plus the grading fee's would warrant it without chewing up all your profit PCGS charges a minimum of $69 for a subscription other subscription levels include grading vouchers though so you could reduce these costs. add to the subscription cost, per coin grading cost which I think for this one might be $23, shipping & ins both ways (1-4 coins is $27 if the total value is under $1000) NGC - economy grading tier is $22, plus $10 handling fee, plus $28 for shipping (1-5 coins). ANACS grading would be $16 but there's a 5 coin minimum. Shipping would be $29-35. CAC - $99 subscription ($50 grading credit), economy grading $15, gold $28, $40 shipping/handling/ins i don't slab coins for these reasons especially the cost involved. I don't know why this is so popular today. just making the grading companies wealthy Should I grade it link that will help https://www.coincommunity.com/colle...t-graded.asp |

Thank you very much for your time. I did an ebay search and found an MS66 sold for $21! The prices and grades do not make any sense to me at all. I see some that are listed asa being graded with no photos of the reverse! I will not be grading this one for sure as I will take the forums advice and save my money. P.S. I agree with you a hundred percent about the grading being done for profit only and are not dependable anymore. Take care everyone. RJ |

Subjective, yes. It's like changing the oil and fluids in your car. Do you take it in to your mechanic every 5000 miles or 6 months for a full work up? Some people do. If you drive a $70000 Mercedes, then maybe the precautions are worth it. If you own a $5000 used Toyota, then you need to learn how to check your fluid levels yourself and do basic tasks like tire rotation. If you are buying a $1000 silver dollar without an authenticated slab, then your grading skills had better be on par with a PCGS grader. If you are sending in a $20 coin for authentication, that same company is going to take your money for the work, the same way that most mechanics will take a car that doesn't need a oil change / filter / tire rotation and do the work for your money. You chose to pay them for a service, and they performed the service in good faith. If you want to do a good service to the community in exchange for their help, you might enlighten us to how you decided that coin might need grading. The experienced members here (which does not include me) often wonder why people are so keen on grading these days. |

In looking at this coin and in the Red Book, it looked like a coin with a good value. After reading the comments here, I looked at the ebay site and saw many similer coins listed for prices all over the map from $5 to $750. This MS68 coin appears to me, not to have the split bands in the center as described in the book! I will keep learning as long as I can with help from people like you. Thank you |
