oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 03/17/2009 11:06 pm This is the sharpest strike Mercury that I have in my modest collection. Would this dime be considered to have Full ~~Strike~~ Split Bands? There is a ding (bag mark?) across the the two horizontal bands, but could it still considered FSB? Your thoughts, please.

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 03/17/2009 11:33 pm I believe FSB stands for Full Split Bands and those look split to me but I'm not a Merc dime expert. Pretty as pudding though! ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 03/18/2009 02:44 am Absolutely FSB. Even with not-so great photos of the whole coin, at least MS-66 too. Report this Post to the Staff

steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 03/18/2009 6:02 pm As nice as the coin is, I don't think it is worth slabbing if it is MS65/66. The coin is worth quite a bit less than $50. If it is a 67 coin, it is still doubtful that having it graded would pay for itself. Value of coin would be in $100-$150 range (PCGS or NGC).
