benchfreak221 Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 01/13/2013 05:54 am I only paid $35 for it and I don't think that you can tell from the pics but it has FSB. Numismedia list this coin going for $35 at MS 65 no "FSB". Report this Post to the Staff

benchfreak221 Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 01/13/2013 06:13 am Is it worth getting slabbed to see if it grades higher? Report this Post to the Staff
fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 01/13/2013 07:20 am A '45 FSB is in the thousands. What are you talking about? Dang, get us some pics that show us, please. Report this Post to the Staff

dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 01/13/2013 09:22 am benchfreak, it will help thew grading aspect if you would remove it from the flip and try to adjust the lighting to show the coin...$35 for a raw 1945-D FSB may be a few dollars too much, but not that much...if it is not pure FSB then its a big overpay for the date...but lets have a look...

Jimjumper Valued Member United States 331 Posts	Posted 01/13/2013 10:33 am If he picked it up in Okinawa locally, that might not be to bad. Last time I was there I didn't see a lot of local shops selling U.S. coins. Report this Post to the Staff
benchfreak221 Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 01/13/2013 2:17 pm Ok thanks. I'll remove it from the holder tonight and take more pics Report this Post to the Staff
benchfreak221 Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 06:19 am Here are those pics. I took the best pics I could for now. It may be hard to tell from the pics but they are FSB. Opinion on grade please! Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 07:48 am i can kinda tell the bands but you really need to post head on shots of the obverse and reverse for "true" grading. I am not a merc expert although I am only 11 short of an all AU/UNC set of the entire series. Based on that experience I can tell you the subtle differences that make an MS65 from an MS63 are just that, subtle. I don't think you can gather help assessing that without with better cam shots.

Tom B Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 09:02 am The coin may well grade MS65 or even MS66, but the images are very tough to interpret. Report this Post to the Staff
Kurrykid Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 11:25 am What is "FSB"? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 1:26 pm Quote: What is "FSB" Full Split Bands - You should keyword search this entire forum but for entry level explanation and ease of use: On the reverse of the Winged Liberty Head Dime, there are three distinct splits that can occur across the relief in the bands. If these are FULLY separated, the coin can receive the designation FSB which can increase the value. The holiest of all holy FSBs to find would be the 1945 Philadelphia Mint. You get one of those in MS state, and you've got WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER! Report this Post to the Staff
Pokeplayer101 Valued Member United States 50 Posts	Posted 01/17/2013 9:21 pm I think it is getting it slabbed. You should get a MS65-MS66. Report this Post to the Staff
