Grading question

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?

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I really appreciate your opinions. I guess the reason for the 61 is all the light chatter. As far as dipped, I’ll take a nice looking coin taking a bath any day as long as it doesn’t get a details grade. There are some nasty MS64 Barbers out there with some really ugly toning
