PCGS population report actually shows full bands coins for this variety graded VF30 and VF35, one of each. That's in addition to the 43 they have graded AU50-AU58.

Even if the VF coins are a typo, it seems pretty clear that they openly acknowledge they won't grade all Mercury dimes under the same standards. A preference is given simply due to the popularity of the variety.

The entity that submitted the coin for grading got really, really lucky and/or pulled some strings to get what they got.

Amazing, the TPG's are in a world of their own.
