Help with possible FBL for Franklin Halves

[JoeVeteran]

Good Morning All,

Newbie here again. Can someone tell me if the following B. Franklin's are FBL or not FBL? Also why or why not FBL?

These are my favorite, and my reason for starting to collect coins. 

Thank you in advance for your comments (this is how I learn).

They appear to be all proof specimens, proofs do not have FBL designations, only Business struck Franklin halves can achieve the FBL.

Thank you WoodenJefferson, you have been very helpful, and I really appreciate it.

Here is a link to a WYNK section of the boards, for some strange reason the images are links also and did not show up, maybe it's just me.

Good luck

I'm a little late to this thread, but the FBL designation is not used on Proof Franklin halves because weak strike is not an issue with the Proofs, and virtually all are FBL.

Thank you coinman1794, 

It is never too late when providing good information to a beginner like me.
