dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 08/17/2012 3:17 pm I agree with Captain but I also am still wondering why we could not get pics of the coins. Pics are a basic fundamental to posting here if you want the respect and attention of the community. I see the pics of the 4 center band shots but not the whole coins showing me FSB TPG Slabs and his raw '45. Report this Post to the Staff
JoeyZ76 Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 08/17/2012 4:27 pm I dont have full pictures of all the coins. What difference does it make? Again....I dont care about the "Grade".The grade means nothing in reference to the center bands.If the obverse was chopped with a screwdriver...does that matter to the question of the center band...no it does not. The point of showing the 3 that are already FB is because 99% of 45P's all have flat bands,not very rounded. Sorry you feel it was sneaky,wasnt supposed to be. Just wanted to compare the line across the center bands. Edited by JoeyZ76 08/17/2012 4:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 08/19/2012 12:43 pm Not really... There are lots of FB designated dimes with poorly struck obverses or peripheries. Granted, having full bands means the coin is more likely to be well struck generally, but it's not always true. The only reason the whole coin comes into play for the designation is that TPGs sometimes grade certain dates on a curve. Report this Post to the Staff
