There are barely any steps at all, so not even close to FS. This describes FS:

Also, most nickels for the 60s and 70s didn't have good dies and most have little to no steps at all, even though they are MS, like the steps are on yours, but I don't think that nickel is quite MS. I would grade it AU-58.
It looks like it has some type of burnish look to it, but that wasn't done that year. Kind of strange. Maybe it took a spin in a washing machine or dryer?
Look at some Mint Sets from the 1990s and you'll see some nickels with FS. You can even find some in circulation, by searching rolls and look at nickels from the past few years.
