I've sent in around two dozen Jefferson nickels over the prior two years. I'm at around 50% success rate in getting FS designation. The steps in your closeup photo appear nicer than some of what I sent in for grading. As for grade, the photos are a little blurry. One item to note is that grading services will only give FS on Mint State (MS) graded nickels. An AU grade will not get the FS designation.
