It's hard to tell how bad the nicks on the neck and jaw are, but I'll try MS64.

65 is tough to get on a nickel. 64

There's an annoying reflection on the obverse side that makes it very difficult to grade but I'll say ms64.

MS-64 in my opinion, ICCS, MS-63.

Most of you were right, ICCS grade ms64. Any clue what would have made it 64 and not 65? Is it the nicks on the neck/jaw? Because other than I really don't see anything else.

I'm still figuring out ICCS "Canadian" grading standards, but I suspect it's close to the J&M Coin version ( https://www.jandm.com/grading.htm): 64/65 is "...No marks of any kind, full deep strike" so I suppose you caught a break on the jaw/neck nicks. 66/67 is "A wonder coin, probably without peer in existence. Coins like this are beyond rare" so 68-70 doesn't even exist. :) |

Marks on neck, lower jaw and to th right of the eye.
MS64 by ICCS seems right as they would never give a 65 with those marks, especially for the very common 1945 year.
