Is it is? or Is It Ain't??

Hey everyone. I am sending this Franklin off to PCGS, but since I have the pics I wanted to show it off and ask opinions about the bell lines.

What say you?

Looks like there is a slight mark to the right of the crack upper lines.
The lower lines I can't hardly see but I think it is a good candidate.

 

Honestly, impossible to tell with those pictures. The picture makes the bottom set of lines look quite incomplete, especially to the left of the crack. The speckled toning isn't helping, either!

 

I didn't say it was easy, Jason! It can be difficult to capture details through the luster and the toning. Besides, you know that my photo skills are suspect

 

I thought that PCGS only uses one set of lines for FBL. ~ Chris

 

Would love anybody opinion ---the bark marks more bluish

 

It's not easy to image bell lines.

 

your coin is AU, therefore the bell lines are irrelevant

 

thank you

 

I wanna know what 'bark' marks are........

 

The dog barked on the coin?

 

I'm sorry Mike, there's just too much 'noise' for me to make a proper determination. Perhaps if you uploaded a larger file?

 

Does your dog bite?

 

missed spelled --dark spots

 

Yes, they use only the bottom set of lines.

Coincidentally, that's the set of lines that can't really be seen in these photos.

 

I'll see if I can get a better image tomorrow

 

Mike. Pretty cool coin.

 

Your right. But they also give nickels the FS designation when there are clear bridges and contact.

 

No, that is not my dog!
