To make grading worth it your dime would have to be about MS63 and by your pictures I don't think it will make it.

Because you accidentally clicked "New Event" instead of "New Topic," I fixed it.

T-BOP I was having a hard time getting the right lighting to get a good picture. I think they are just a weird reflection because I don't see them on the coin through a loop.

I hope it hasn't been tooled to make it FB, because the vertical lines on the ax appears to be somewhat weak.

Need better resolution of pics. AU grade for sure.

I'd put that one in one of my Albums of all FSB coins. Looks good to me and those diagonal lines do look a bit weak but still full horizontal bands. Any better would be a brand new coin. And don't spend money on having it graded. Just put in an Album like I do.
Rest in Peace

Honestly, your photos are too unclear to give you a firm determination on grade. For me, the FSB is a lock for PCGS and about an 80% chance for NGC. NGC is a little tougher.

Your coin appears uncirculated, but any guess of a specific grade can't be made, at least by me.

With the photos you've provided on submitting.
