Because it's not graded as such, unfortunately we could tell you 100% it is or that it isn't, but until this in labeled in a reputable slab as a NO FG then it's a moot point.
Earle will explain...

Please take a look at my signature, read the PDF about NO FG halves - internal links to everything in the paper so you can see for yourself.

The slabbing companies (trying to not sound to negative) are somewhat clueless about this rookie level subject.

Note the lack of feathers and claw detail on yours? The FG was polished off the die accidentally to remove clash marks and extend the length of the die. There is supposed to be no trace of the letters for the it t be a No FG label. But many slabbed ones have (at least) those traces of the lettering as well as full letters being visible.

So...as said above beware of slabbed ones. It has cost some collectors thousands of dollars buying top grade coins that are worth .50¢.

You just never know if the companies will/will not (take the extra fee you would have to pay them to) put "No FG" on the label.

Unfortunately the companies have created a gray area for people who want to be honest and collect/sell these.

makes total sense- found roll hunting- just trying to assess whether it would even be worth it to try for the designation, as the sole focus of submitting such a coin would be profit or a lack thereof
