The red arrows point to some areas where I had some questions.

Also, how many steps are we seeing here?

Please elaborate on these.

The full coin will be disclosed later after I have seen several opinions.

I would say no. The lower risers are damaged on the lowest step. We discussed this a while back:

I'm not a collector of these. The graded examples I would have turned down as being FS. But PCGS slabbed them that way.

Too many interruptions for any FS designation. But let's see full pics of both sides of this coin!

Risers look damaged from that tiny pic.

My vote is NO on the FS. This is the area that concerns me the most:

FS-Or-Not-On-A-Jeff-5c-Take-A-Guess-And-Say-Why-You-Made-That-Call

The hits you highlighted are also important, but the central lower step blending into the step above it is the most common reason for it to not be FS in my mind. However, that says nothing of what a TPG may give it. Their standards are generally a bit lower.

Here's the first URL to a $ 24K PCGS 1953-S 5C FS shown in the first photo of steps I posted above:

The whole purpose of this thread is to become an expert in NOT letting opportunities slip by. I believe I may have discussed this coin before in a thread several months ago but I thought it would be worthwhile to review it again only because of the amount of $ involved. Once again, let's see how the TPG did.
