I don't see anything stopping this from going 65 - unless you get hit with a QC.

edit: or AC

Nice coin. I would go with MS-65 but I have a concern about the mark on the second feather. Is it a hit or just discolored?

I don't see any marks in these photos. Looks MS-65BN to me.

I'm thinking MS64+. Color shown in the posted pics is likely a function of the lighting used in the photography--white balance/temperature.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

AC - altered color

@paralyse beat me to it. Both are designations that PCGS and NGC use on their slabs for "details" coins.
