I was leaning towards MS-60, but I do not have much experience with non copper coins. I suspect the dark color is simply toning due to exposure to environment and light.
I see a coin that looks uncirculated. The nickel series is hard to grade because of the density of the nickel. It just doesn't strike well. I have seen many a nickel graded that looks worse than this one and they are graded uncs.
