I'm sure many people said that about most coins in the 18th and 19th century
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Submitter probably thought he was going to bag a high grade MS. Maybe he did.

Alrighty then.

The coin was graded as MS-64 FULL BANDS

Maybe there is enough of a separation to justify the FB designation, or maybe PCGS only looks at the upper and lower bands, not the middle set?

Coin actually looks pretty nice (not spectacular) in hand. It cost me all of $8, and in all honesty, I was buying it because it was in an OGH, of which I didn't have any, and wanted one for posterity's sake.

And here we go -

I won't be doing it, but it would be interesting to see what they say. They only look at the middle set of bands.


Quote:
Full Bands
Mercury Head Dimes: The central bands on the fasces on the reverse should be completely separated from left to right, without any breaks, marks or gaps. Note: PCGS may designate in grades of 60 and higher.

It was graded before a long weekend, and the graders have just finish grading thousand of other 1943 Mercs.
