Was just taking a few pics of my double mint sets and it appears some of the Franklins may have FBL, Are any of these worth sending in for grading?

I do not see FBL on any of those Franklins... I may be too critical, but I have collected these (though not concentrating on FBL's)... Cheers, RickO

Given PCGS's grading standards I'm only going to comment on the lower set of bell lines.
1957
P 1 - Maybe. The ding through the lower lines technically takes it out of FBL, but I've seen coins with nicks through the bell lines get the FBL.
P 2 - No.
D 1 - Hard to tell from the picture, but I would guess no, given the lack of lower bell lines just to the right of the crack.
D 2 - 30% yes, 70% chance no.
1958
D 1 - 30% yes, 70% chance no.
P 1 - Hard to see to the left of the crack due to the toning, but it appears to be FBL.
P 2 - No.
D 2 - No, but I have seen some like these make it through as FBL.

A couple are close, but by strict standards no on all.
Not seeing FBL's but I am seeing MS65 and 66's!
Thanks for all the comments
