Newp: Is this Roosie FB?

Stopped in at a local shop yesterday, and browsed through the binders looking for coins to cherrypick... nothing in the Proof Set department, but plenty of coins to look through. Most of the coins were circs, but there were a few Uncs here and there that I checked for strike designators and clean coins... bought 2 circ Barber dimes for my Dansco album, bought a toned 1946 Jeff that I liked. Also found a 1948 Roosie that I think is FB, and looks pretty clean. Tried to get pics of the Jeff, but the toning was giving me troubles, and I don't feel like reshooting right now, but I've got pics of the Roosie below. Grade opinions? FB?

  • MS64FB - nice job! image
  • image Now that I've taken the pictures, I see some of the hits that I didn't see before. Some of the hits look more severe because of the lighting, but there are enough heavy hits that I can see how it would stay a 63 or 64... image But it's wierd for me trying to spot a Roosie FB, being used to Mercs, which is a little bit different... image But, it was nice to have picked out an FB image Sticker price was $4.75, but I got a discount of about a $1 on all the coins...
