    Here’s another one of my PCGS MS-64 Franklin Halves. When am I going to pick up the last 6 that I need. They all need to look and be graded like this.

    I just bought a BU Franklin on Ebay for 15.25 with shipping. It is raw though.

    I like to look at the messages on this forum because I have learned a great deal that helps me in my collecting. I especially like to see when members show coins similar to those I am and have collected. When I saw that you had a PCGS Franklin that is MS64FBL, I had to look to see if I had one in my collection. I'm still going through my father's collection. I do have a 1955 PCGS MS64FBL and a 1960 ANACS MS60FBL.
    Thanks.

    What is FBL? I just read this. It means full bell lines.

    I bid on a NGCMS64 FBL but I was sniped. It went for $33 with $5 shipping.

    Yes. The bell lines worn fast so finding FBL’s isn’t easy, especially with some dates and mint marks.

    I only need 6 more to have them all in MS-64 FBL by PCGS. It’s taken several years but I keep looking for nice ones like this one.

    How much did you pay for these Franklin's?

    It depended on the date and mint mark and of course, when and where I bought them. I’ve had them for many years, well over twenty. Some were in the $35.00 range, others were a few hundred, each.

    Here is one of the coins I bought. I bought two of the same coin. One is NGC MS64 FBL. The scan doesn't do it justice. I should try my phone.
