Is this Frankie considered an FBL?

    Well, yes it is a full bell lines Franklin, but then again, it is also a proof coin. The proofs almost always have full bell lines.

    Yes, it is certainly FBL. But, that is the rule, rather than the exception for Proof coins and because of that, the designation is not used on Proofs.

    Thanks for the input. I was unaware of that fact but it does make sense!
