1953 S is the key date in terms of full bell lines. It's simple they are extremely rare and many S mint marks were weakly struck. If this way truely FBL it'd be worth several thousand to many thousands of dollars. PCGS estimates around 200 examples of FBL

Sorry to say, it's not a FBL. Notice the flat spot on the lower bell lines, just left of the crack.

San Fran did not use the same pressure during minting, and the master dies were badly worn.
