WreckItRalph Valued Member United States 120 Posts	Posted 05/27/2017 01:16 am 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 Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 05/27/2017 01:33 am 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.
