djluster Pillar of the Community United States 1327 Posts	Posted 03/09/2007 4:27 pm Ok I am just starting to work on a Franklin half dollar set. can someone explain to me what they are lookinf for when they say FBL. I know for hte most part but I odn't want to mistake a partcal one for a full line. or don't wnat to think I have one if I am looking at the wrong thing. So can I have someone explain what it looks like and who to know if it is a FBL. also it would help if someone could post a picture of a good expale of one. I know a few of the ones I bought at the coin show say they are but wnat to make sure for myself. I am sure one of the books has a definition but don't have any of them handy right now Report this Post to the Staff

HERE'S A PIC OF MY 59D AND A PIC OF MY 49 BOTH ARE MS64 FBL LOOK AT THE LINES ON THE 49, THEY ARE HAMMERED ! Edited by grovey 03/09/2007 4:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
