I am really curious how the scratch on the neck affects the overall grade. The pictures were shot under intense natural sunlight. Other marks are very difficult to see with the naked eye.

Appears to be a lot of "busy" marks on the cheek and in front of the face.
Prime viewing areas.
Probably would keep it to an MS-62 at best.

Oh, and to answer your question, the mark on the neck is well within the definition of MS-63 and possibly MS-64.
It's the "noise" on the cheek that holds the coin back.

Is that wear on the hair around the ear? or is it a weaker strike?
If it is wear it would bring it down to an AU55-AU58

Something strikes me as wonky about the obverse so I'll just say details. The reverse looks great though, looks like the whole coin would benefit from a light dip.

I don't know how to tell if the hair behind the ear is a weak strike or circulation. Is there a good way to tell the difference?

I'm not so sure this is BU, maybe just AU.
