Circulated coins do not qualify for FB designation.

Looks EF-45 to me. FB would not be considered in this grade.

just an FYI, the chance of finding a SB on a circulated coin with this much wear is zero Datguy.

It would seem that you do not understand what Full Bands really are. They are the 3 horizontal bands.

None of them on this dime are full. The middle one is basically gone altogether.

This is full bands.

bobby131313. just to clarify. the example you posted is indeed a FB coin. however I don't want the OP to think that all 3 bands need to be fully separated at least for PCGS. according to their guidelines NGC requires all 3 bands to be separated. PCGS only requires the middle band. from my standpoint I want all 3 to assign the designation. I would have thought that PCGS would be more stringent on these but thats not the case

only MS60 coins and above can receive the designation with the exception of the 16D, 1942/1 and 1942/1-D overdates which can be as low as AU50

I'm no expert by any means, but it would seem that the middle is the highest/first to go. It always seems to be the worst on circulated dimes from what I remember.

I will now look closer in my travels and see if I can find one with the middle not being the worst.

1943S, would it be worth while to pay $65 to have this PCGS or NGC graded?
Thank you

You should start a new thread for every coin.

Also, not worth grading. At this very moment, you can buy a very nice MS66 PCGS slabbed 1943-S dime for $39 on ebay.
