    Does anyone have high quality pics of Frankin Half Dollars with the full bell lines? Any online sites that will show the same?

    Nice Larry! the toning is unusual for a Franklin. But full bell and great details. Do you have a front? Also it is kind of weird to have FBL's and less details on the top.

    I agree.
    Although the bottom bell lines are the ones normally examined, I believe to be FBL the top lines must be complete too.
    I would think a good guideline would be a proof coin.

    Same thing applies to FB Mercs.
    Everyone looks at the middle pair, but the top and bottom pairs are supposed to be full too.

    This is the NGC standard, but not PCGS right? Jacked top lines are still FBL in PCGS slabs?

    Yes, NGC requires both upper and lower lines, PCGS requires only the bottom lines.

    It's my image that's weird. Dark coin shot with lots of light to bring out the lines. It's only a 65.
