Another photo cause I feel you can't see bands in last photo. Do this qualify for full bands  |

Hello Friend. Not to burst your bubble but I have a few observations. Firstly it is difficult to judge a coin simply by it's picture. While I do see from the second photograph that it does appear to be full split bands, there are other things that disturb me. I am suspicious about all the small die breaks and some raised areas especially throughout the legend on the reverse. The rub spot under E pluribus Unum looks like a tooled area where possibly the word "copy" has been obliterated. The blob of extra metal on the star and A of America along with some pimpling in the field and the weakness of the bottom half of the fasces. This coin looks suspect in my opinion.

The coin--as it appears in the photos--doesn't look quite right. Could simply be a matter of photo processing--bumped-up contrast and increased sharpening of lower resolution images. Hope the piece hasn't picked up any fingerprints.

Coin has clearly circulated a bit or been mishandled. Doesn't look like full bands to me.  to the CCF! |

I too think this is a FSB coin. However due to wear, it would not get to much of a MS grade. Bands are full but rest of coin is sort of worn.

I would say yes to FSB, but it doesn't look mint state. Might even be details depending on what's going on in the surfaces.

Ok , we have a tough situation here . FB or not ? I think the only way to clear this up would be Fdd needs to take a few more close up photos of the reverse , mainly all sets of the bands .  |

Why bother with more photos. A simpler solution would be to send that coin to me so I could put it in one of my 12 sets. FSB or not, I would take it.
