Playing catch-up here. Nice outer shield outline!

PCGS defines a Full Head as follows;

1919-S-L-B-Quarter---Full-Head?

Type II Standing Liberty quarters receive the Full Head designation when the helmet exhibits three complete and distinct leaves, a complete outline on the bottom of the helmet, and a clear ear hole on Miss Liberty's head.

Full Head is so hard to tell - even if designated from a TPG.

Here is what a fully struck SLQ looks like. They don't come much better than this example.

I second @believer, it does not technically match the quality you need for Full Head designation, but the third party grading services can be all over the place. If you submit it enough times under the right conditions, it is near certain it could get FH.

I would not purchase it as FH, nor expect to get the designation within a try or two.
