Satchmo64 Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 02/13/2023 1:20 pm I have already been to the section about these in CC. But I was sold this 63 and said it was full lines Edited by Satchmo64 02/14/2023 01:57 am Report this Post to the Staff

Keith67 Pillar of the Community United States 6608 Posts	Posted 02/13/2023 2:01 pm It's called, Full Bell Lines. And it's only the lines on the bottom. From these pics, I say no. Report this Post to the Staff
dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 02/13/2023 2:37 pm I think it's pretty darn close. If you could get a pic without glare it would be easier to identify. In the meantime: https://www.PCGS.com/news/PCGS-bell...half-dollars Here's my 1958 MS 63 FBL. For your reference: Edited by dsking 02/13/2023 2:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

In the meantime: Yeah I checked all the usual sites for close up pics and description. This thing was in a box of junk silver I got off ebay a while back and just now got it out and looked it up. 90% too. I can't even get a good look under the microscope. Will try do another pic or two Report this Post to the Staff

Satchmo64 Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 02/13/2023 3:20 pm I looked at PCGS and they have 4 pics of the different levels. No lines at all (smooth) and about half lines. And just about lines. And full. I believe it's between full and just about. But I can't really properly see the top part a little to the left Edited by Satchmo64 02/14/2023 02:03 am Report this Post to the Staff

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 02/13/2023 3:44 pm I only see shadows of the rings on the top left of the top ring too. Hmmm I would just call it a FBL and go with it. It could just be a weak strike in that area. IMO Mine is an MS 63...so if yours has that much lustre and no major dings, etc., I agree with your MS 63. But, that's just a guess.
