<p>[QUOTE="Robert Ransom, post: 4704371, member: 97872"]Lately, I have seen more and more Franklin Half Dollar Coins that are graded FBL. I have not much experience with this nomenclature (FBL and Liberty Bell coins were not in my collection activity) and began reading articles about same. Here is my dilemma: Graded coins which appear to have missing segments to the lines. I see coins on eBay graded as FBL yet see breaks in the lines and according to articles, the TPG's have their own criteria, eg. NCG requires two full bottom lines converging to the crack with a slight <i>fading, </i>my word, due to the die used. They also forgive at their minor small dings and scratches. </p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1950-FBL-MS64-Franklin-Half-Dollar-90-SILVER-PCGS-Graded-858/133477586043?hash=item1f13e2547b:g:3w0AAOSwVe5fHz3R" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1950-FBL-MS64-Franklin-Half-Dollar-90-SILVER-PCGS-Graded-858/133477586043?hash=item1f13e2547b:g:3w0AAOSwVe5fHz3R" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/1950-FBL-MS64-Franklin-Half-Dollar-90-SILVER-PCGS-Graded-858/133477586043?hash=item1f13e2547b:g:3w0AAOSwVe5fHz3R</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1950-Franklin-Half-Dollar-NGC-MS64FBL-Strong-Luster-Gold-Highlights-Sharp/303636226795?hash=item46b22122eb:g:oc8AAOSw~fRfIITa:sc:USPSFirstClass!02886!US!-1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1950-Franklin-Half-Dollar-NGC-MS64FBL-Strong-Luster-Gold-Highlights-Sharp/303636226795?hash=item46b22122eb:g:oc8AAOSw~fRfIITa:sc:USPSFirstClass!02886!US!-1" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/1950-Franklin-Half-Dollar-NGC-MS64FBL-Strong-Luster-Gold-Highlights-Sharp/303636226795?hash=item46b22122eb:g:oc8AAOSw~fRfIITa:sc:USPSFirstClass!02886!US!-1</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1952-D-Franklin-Half-Dollar-50C-MS-64-FBL-Full-Bell-Lines-NGC-Toned/274445428263?hash=item3fe638e627:g:LnEAAOSwJn1fJHHH" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1952-D-Franklin-Half-Dollar-50C-MS-64-FBL-Full-Bell-Lines-NGC-Toned/274445428263?hash=item3fe638e627:g:LnEAAOSwJn1fJHHH" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/1952-D-Franklin-Half-Dollar-50C-MS-64-FBL-Full-Bell-Lines-NGC-Toned/274445428263?hash=item3fe638e627:g:LnEAAOSwJn1fJHHH</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1952p-50c-Silver-Franklin-Half-Dollar-MS-64-FBL-NGC-Coin/274445450804?hash=item3fe6393e34:g:iw8AAOSwP2VfJHRf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1952p-50c-Silver-Franklin-Half-Dollar-MS-64-FBL-NGC-Coin/274445450804?hash=item3fe6393e34:g:iw8AAOSwP2VfJHRf" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/1952p-50c-Silver-Franklin-Half-Dollar-MS-64-FBL-NGC-Coin/274445450804?hash=item3fe6393e34:g:iw8AAOSwP2VfJHRf</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Comments on these coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
