SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 07/12/2007 09:27 am Michael, You are correct that NGC is more stringent on Franklin FBL designation. They require both upper and lower sets of lines be distinct and unbroken. Your 54-S upper lines definitely fade toward the center and the lower lines are just shy of FBL. That said, it's still a GORGEOUS Franklin. Congrats. Report this Post to the Staff

SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 07/12/2007 10:22 am Michael, Tell me you are not going to get it reslabbed for an FBL! That star means a lot and you probably won't get an FBL from PCGS either. Report this Post to the Staff
