the lighting makes those marks look like they are raised
the FB? 99.99+
it is hard to know which way it will go. obviously the strike is there for the coin to be a nice FB but with the middle hits it may prevent the FB desig.
it seems a lot of true FB mercs are nuked because of micro hits in the banding area pushing a little metal over the gap, brutal, just brutal
i have a 39-s in 66 with 99.99 bands but no FB designation, it gives me stomach aches thinking about it

Remember that's the biggest determining factor fro high grade. Marks area a factor, but the eye appeal driven by super luster is more important.
not my coin nor do I know who's it is.
