Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 07/10/2023 2:06 pm @sbg, I'm moving your thread over to the grading subforum, since it sounds like your questions mainly revolve around the grade rather than the presence of potential mint errors. With regard to this specific coin, I believe that for a die to have fully split bands, there must be an uninterrupted space between the horizontal bands. Yours seems to lack this feature, especially on the top and bottom pairs.
