Because the grading company thought it met their standards that were in place at the time it was graded.
Their standards might be different from YOUR standards as grading is subjective.

Further evidence that grading is an inexact science, if a science at all.

So you're suggesting most of those reverse scratches are on the coin and not the slab?

I do believe they are on the coin. Scratches like these should definitely get a Details grade.

A well circulated coin is expected to have a lot of wear and potentially a lot of contact marks, scuffs, and scratches from interacting with the environment. I think the grade on this one is accurate.

What is that punched in the midsection of the bison below the back and between the legs that looks like a slanted upside down "D"?

I tend to agree with the grade opinion.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

I'm ok with this one in a straight grade holder as well. Signs of an old cleaning, but it has retoned nicely. Fairly well struck and what looks to be MDS, in a tougher date. I would have probably gone the route of a net grade, bumping it down a notch for surface preservation. This one looks closer to VF25 in my book with a net of VF20, 25 tops.
