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.

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.
