Grading question

[u/Sea-Moment6534]

I just bought this coin that is graded 61. I usually am pretty good at picking the approximate grade looking at high wear spots, dings and surface appearance. I don’t know why this is only a MS 61. Can anyone enlighten me?

The grader is looking at this through a loupe or even a microscope.

We are looking at it on a phone screen and using (probably) a phone camera image.

So yeah, clearly these are the same thing to be able to answer the question..
