I have a question about the Full Bell Lines designation for Franklin halves. How strong /full do the lines need to be to earn this designation? This ‘63 has faint lines roar stretch across the Bell but there are small gaps. Would this qualify or is it a near miss?
Your coin isn't a "near miss"...sorry. Here's a recent thread on the subject... https://www.cointalk.com/threads/franklin-full-bell-lines-for-dummies.364486/
The lines must be unbroken. PCGS and NGC use different standards for the FBL designation. Yours is not FBL.
I agree with no Full Bell Lines. Sometimes I find these hard to determine, but that thread linked looks good and comprehensive. I will have to check it out! Regardless, I love the look of that Franklin! It's got some beautiful colors and a nice lightly worn look.
