FS does not identify a nickel except to say that it's a Jefferson nickel. That's the monogram of Felix Schlag, who designed the original Jefferson nickel in 1938.

Except for the Westward Journey series coins dated 2005, all nickels minted in the last 45 years carry his initials. Up till 2004 they're under the fold of Jefferson's coat, and from 2006 on they're on the back next to Monticello.
