Not FS, those two dings on the bottom eliminate it from any possibility

Here's a video from PCGS on the 'Full Steps' designation that I find quite helpful!

Full Steps info starts at about 1:10 minute mark.

it does look FS, per Q David Bowers the hits don't change the strike quality that FS designates, but those hits do lower the grade enough to make it less appealing to collectors, I'd keep searching for a better example

The firsts to say the hits do not downgrade FS was Ken Potter and Jeff W. And is true. In your case the first step it is in cause in the middle. I am sorry. Was nice to be because the majority do not has those nice sides like you has.

I was taught these can still be FS with some flat spots, interruptions and contact marks.

You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.
