What is the grade - 1963 Jefferson Nickel?

As many of you should know by now, I never try to deceive anyone with a poor quality photo of a coin. I hope this photo is good enough for many of you to determine a grade for this coin. It is such intricacies that most people don't want you to see, so they provide photos of lesser quality. Yes. There are some milk spots on this coin. There are some contact marks as well. What is the grade?

I have pretty much zero experience with grading these, so really a shot in the dark. Assuming this is one of the coins you talked about before, I think PCGS probably graded it 67. The detail looks better than a NGC 66 I have, but the coin here has more marks and spotting and I really don't know how much that would hurt the grade. Even good photos can emphasize marks, spots, etc that might not be as noticeable in hand, so possibly 68. My opinion on these and $1.00 will get you a cheap cup of coffee, lol.
