T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 9:15 pm First of all this Half could not have come out of a hard plastic mint set from the U.S. mint . 2nd I agree with GrapeCollects that this is a proof . A 55 proof Half would have came out of either a flat pack or a box set . Either way hard to see FBL from these photos . Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95324 Posts	Posted 03/23/2021 2:57 pm with the proof rating, but FBL is a bit of a push. Esp on the upper bands near the bell crack. Collecting since 1972.

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36684 Posts	Posted 04/13/2021 1:47 pm Nice proof coin. Photos aren't sharp enough to tell for sure but looks like it might be FBL. I think a nice frosted cameo would be more desirable though. Report this Post to the Staff

NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5177 Posts	Posted 04/14/2021 2:31 pm Shouldn't proofs have, by definition, Full Bell Lines? Unless it is a proof with severe wear. But then it should be PF55 or so. Report this Post to the Staff
