T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 9:07 pm An awful lot of colors there , not sure what the greens are. Mold ,verdigris or NT . Can't tell from pics if the coin is FT or not . The coin looks MS but all that blotchy toning could be hiding some wear and or hits . Report this Post to the Staff

Fender79 Valued Member United States 251 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 9:50 pm Does not uninterrupted horizontal lines between the bands earn an FT designation? I dunno. There are a few different colors and shades of red purple and greenish blue. I thought it looked awesome when I saw it and had to have it. Only paid $2 for it. I just loved the way it looks. I'll try and take a better photo of the bands and colors. Report this Post to the Staff

Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 10/06/2019 11:56 am Just curious as to what determines full torch. The answers are conflicting. Is it only the horizontal bands or does it include the vertical as well?

CherryPicker1 Pillar of the Community United States 646 Posts	Posted 10/08/2019 4:38 pm You can clearly see the botton band does not go all the way across. Not FT ubfortunately, but still a great looking coin! Report this Post to the Staff

Fender79 Valued Member United States 251 Posts	Posted 10/09/2019 09:32 am I'll definitely try and get a better picture somehow. With the naked eye through my loupe it definitely looks FT. I have a hard time getting good pics Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 10/09/2019 10:21 am Still a coin in great condition Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 10/09/2019 7:48 pm It's similar to the Mercury dime fsb. it's the horizonal bands that on this coin are not fully split. not ft. More photos won't change it. Report this Post to the Staff
