TBOP isn't incorrect. It seems to be a bit of a messy situation, being the fact there are two designations: Full Torch and Full Bands. FT and FB.
PCGS uses FB. Here's the link: http://www.pcgs.com/News/Pcgs-To-Ad...sevelt-Dimes
Here is a quote "requires that both the upper and lower pair of bands on the torch be distinct and show full separation. The line dividing the bands must be complete and unbroken."
NGC uses FT. Here's the link: http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewart...rticleID=426
Here is a quote "The designation FT for Full Torch will be applied to Roosevelt dimes having both upper and lower pair of horizontal bands split as well as the vertical lines of the torch being defined."
So basically if you're going by PCGS, your coin is easily FB. If we go by NGC standards your coin just misses out due to the left sides about the touch not being unbroken.
Hope this helps.
