I understand that, but take a another look at it. That is one heavy hit, more a gouge than just a little scratch. I doubt that there's 1/1000 inch between the surface of the coin and the top of the arm on the star. If it was just a light scratch I could understand missing the star but it sure looks heavier than that.

 

Or, having the coin in-hand they may have seen something that isn't readily apparent in a picture.

 

Both are better than the alternative !
