I just compared the bands (especially the middle one)
to a 44-p that I have. This one is full. The 44 is not (middle one)
So a go on the bands. I am trying diff. colored sheets of paper over
the coins that I scan to see which is best. the red color is not working. coin shows some weird color reflections. in hand looks good.
mint luster worn off here and there and a few specks of dark dirt around also. I was concerned more with the obverse. wanted to see if it makes unc. or if just an au. I read that a lot of the times the punch decides the full bands or not. not just the wear. I am going to post the 44p also for a grade (scan) and one can see the minute diff. on the middle band and why it could not be designated fsb just because of that reason.
