Franklin FBL update

justcollecting

Could someone update what is acceptable as FBL. I have gone back through the archives and all the discussions concerning FBL'S have no images. Thanks.

This thread made me wonder if anyone has completed a Franklin Half Dollar set with all coins having the FBL designation.... Need to do some research... Cheers, RickO

Several folks have done FBL sets with varieties. An impressive accomplishment, no doubt.

Here's two for ya. The 1956 is FBL, and the 1958-d is not FBL. Honestly, the FBL thing eludes me, as does grading of Franklins in general. Seems good color will bump a coin way up the scale these days!
