was wondering that grade this coin would be and if it would qualify for full bell lines, thanks. Also I see that there is alot of obv die clashes on Franklin halves and I can't seem to figure how to recognize em does anyone know any good websites or have any good pictures that show a obv franklin die clash,thanks again.

Hard to tell what the luster looks like in these photos. Does not make FBL. Possibly an MS-64 if the luster is nice.

Mid AU - I think the original surfaces have been removed using these photos

I'll say AU-58. Not the best pics.

okay for some reason my phone when I use zoom it just completely destroys the luster, the luster is a little dull but there still is strong cartwheel luster, more on the reverse than obverse

Try some better lighting for the photos. Seeing the surface luster is important to see if there are breaks in it from being circulated.

try this. I found it gives me a decent photo for grading

1. remove coin from holder if possible
2. turn off flash
3. place coin on flat surface with indirect natural light. maybe a window sill in a cloudy day
4. move phone about 3in from coin
5. zoom in using your fingers until the coin comes into focus
6. hold phone steady. if you cant then place something on either side of the coin at that distance and lay phone on top. this will hold it steady and allow you to zoom and take the photo without any blurring
