sam2nth2 Valued Member United States 50 Posts	Posted 10/21/2016 5:17 pm How do I determine full bar(FB) distinction? Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 10/21/2016 6:03 pm FB means Full Bands . But on a Roosevelt dime we actually call it FT . Meaning Full Torch . You can tell them by the upper and lower bands on the torch . They must be fully separated without any interruptions . Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18665 Posts	Posted 10/22/2016 3:04 pm MS64 I dont have it at full torch. for the purist FT needs both vertical and horizontal bands separated and I dont see that here. I'm not even sure the lower horizontal band is separated on this one. I tend to lean towards NGC on this designation. PCGS starting attributing the "Full Bands" or "FB" for Roosevelt dimes on April 1, 2003, citing demand for the designation from collectors. The PCGS designation requires that both the upper and lower pair of bands on the torch to appear distinct and show full separation. The line dividing the bands must be full and unbroken. NGC began using their own version of the attribution a few weeks later on April 14, 2003, but termed it "Full Torch" or "FT." Their criteria for the designation are somewhat different than PCGS's and arguably more strict. In addition to requiring the upper and lower pair of horizontal bands to show full separation, NGC also requires that the vertical lines of the torch must be defined. Report this Post to the Staff
