Hello everyone just looking to see if this would qualify as FBL? I know the pictures may not be the best. Using my iPhone I'm thinking of getting the olloclip adapter to help out a bit for future photos.


Thank you

I don't think it's FBL. Most of the lines appear weak (or non-existent) to the left of the bell crack.

From what I've seen, that's the prime area for bell line weakness, even on proofs. Go figure...

I believe dings that interrupt the lines also disqualify coins (similar to Full Steps on nickels) but, I don't see any noticeable dings on this one.

I've recently experimented with a cheap clip-on macro lens and have to say, it has done wonders. Mine's a little quirky and I'm still toying with it but, it definitely broadens my phone photography capabilities.

'Full Bell Lines'
Look at the close up images in that part of the coin.
