 You will more than likely need a close-up photo of the bottom lines of the bell without the glare for an opinion on the bell lines. Is your Franklin a Proof or Business strike?

I believe full bell lines would be very possible with close up of that reverse area .

This is a proof. The FBL designation only applies for business strikes, not proofs due to the fact that all proofs should be FBL, given the differences in the minting process of the two. Tough to give an accurate grade based on these pics, possibly PR-64/65.

They actually go through more clearer than it looks on the bottom

Can you post a picture with the coin removed from the holder? Will make judging surfaces much easier.

This looks like a proof coin to me, which afaik are ALL supposed to have full bell lines. I'm a complete novice at collecting though so take my opinion for what it's worth.

Sorry. No way anyone can discern whether that's full bell line from these pictures.
