Nice eye appeal and great original haze / toning. Take a shot at the grade!

i think the strike would preclude a 67 grade. I'm sure they liked the gold toning. MS65+

I'll be first: But I've been wrong many times with pictures like this.
IMHO: Looks like a weak strike coin, forming very nice rainbow colors.
. . . . . MS65

Very weak strike for a War Nickel - but that is not supposed to affect the technical grade.

I'm going to say MS64.

Especially from San Francisco.
Attractive toning (and I'm not a toner guy!).
MS-64

I think in spite of a very weak strike this one might just make a MS66. Very nice unmolested nickel.
