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."

From the photo I said 80+%, but will need to see it in hand. Nice coin.

I don't think there's a scale with FB - it either is or it isn't. Based on that one image I'd say it isn't. Separate from that, it seems rather silly that the seller includes an image of another seller's coin with a ridiculous price. Combined with no returns and I'd personally avoid a seller like that. The same coin sold for $360 last October, so is a gamble on FB worth $640? https://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/194...bnail-071515 |

Looks pretty close, but apparently PCGS didn't think it was close enough when they graded it.

33%. I only see one of three that could be considered a full band.

Zero for me. That would be a $10,000 gift from PCGS. Why would the seller not re-sub if they're so confident?

Not close enough. If I had to put a number I'd say 75-80. I'm with kbbpll on avoiding a seller like this. Quote:
We believe that ICG would grade our coin MS65 or MS66. Full Bands not noted by PCGS because they do not designate FB on errors. But in our view the coin has Full Bands by PCGS standards. Literal translation of seller description: We believe a bottom tier, third party grader would likely overgrade this coin. We also believe, if you get reallllly lucky, a lax grader may undeservingly hand out a FB designation. We're not willing to risk it, but you should!!! SOLD. |

No FB. Cannot see clearly the bottom band-blurry.

I guess I'm seeing a lot more of FB o this coin than you guys . I'll say 90% Full Split . The center Bands is the one that's in question .  |

Agreed, right side of the center band doesn't appear to be split.

Not FSB, 80-85%. Still far better than most 45-P.
