Not particularly well struck.
Looks 63 to me.

63-64
Soft strike, high grade. My initial reaction is that I cannot see anything keeping it from a 65. It used to be that a soft strike would disqualify it, but I don't think that is true anymore.

What is the line coming down off the feather into the would-be shoulder?
I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.
Die clash.
I think the coin would have a shot at 65 but really tough to tell from photos.
Collector, occasional seller
Strike holds it to 63.

65🤞Maybe not didn’t see that issue at end of feather
The issue at the end of the feather is a clash with the reverse die it is the back Hump of the Buffalo and does not take away any points from grading that I know of, Nice '13 I'd give a ms65 at least.
I don't know. the issue for me at 63 is the Obverse strike, and yes, die clashes do not affect the grade.
