<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 413927, member: 13650&quot;]Does anybody here have a good grasp on what is considered FBL&#039;s on Franklin half dollars?&nbsp;&nbsp; Do they consider all the lines?&nbsp; Just the bottom ones, or top ones??</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I have a 1958-D&nbsp; in an NGC holder graded MS-63 FBL.&nbsp;&nbsp; A beautiful 63.&nbsp; But the bell lines still seem faint on this to the point I&#039;m wondering if I send it in again, if it would receive the designation again.&nbsp; Not that I&#039;m going to.&nbsp; It isn&#039;t that important to me.&nbsp;&nbsp; No doubt they&#039;re over 90% and this thing is MS.&nbsp; But I could not look at it and say for sure this is a 100% FBL coin out of the holder.&nbsp; Even under 10x magnification.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; But I&#039;m wondering how defined they can possibly be and if real &#039;no-doubters&#039; exist or is it usually very subjective.&nbsp; I can definitely identify ones that wouldn&#039;t cut it.&nbsp; But some that are very close, look not all that different than this graded one I have.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have some more coming soon to judge from, that are in PCGS holders.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;This aspect of them seems tricky.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Any input appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
