I find it odd that PCGS did grade it (net, obviously) even though it cannot be determined if it is a P or D minted coin.
Usually, PCGS needs a date and/or mint (if available).
Probably the result of what happens at my table at a lot of the shows I set up at:
Customer: "This coin looks unusual- it has to be an error. Should I submit it?"
Me: "No, it's been run over by cars in a parking lot. It isn't worth grading since it's damage and not an error."
Customer: "Are you sure it isn't an error?"
Me: "No, that's definitely damage. There's no part of the manufacturing process at the mint that could cause that."
Customer: "How much if I wanted to submit it anyway?"
Me: "Minimum $48 for economy grading, mint error verification, and return shipping. More if you want it back faster."
Customer: "Hmmmm. I think I'll go ahead and submit it anyway. I want to be sure."
You Suck! Awarded 6/2008- 1901-O Micro O Morgan, 8/2008- 1878 VAM-123 Morgan, 9/2022 1888-O VAM-1B3 H8 Morgan | Senior Regional Representative- ANACS Coin Grading. Posted opinions on coins are my own, and are not an official ANACS opinion.
Suppose the coin was in your brothers pocket and he was shot and killed by a shotgun during a robbery of the liquor store where he was working. The rest of the change in his pocket was unmarked but you picked this coin out as a remembrance and sent it in to PCGS for encapsulation to put away in your mementos. Once in the plastic it is unlikely to get misplaced.
My Great Grandfather and 5 cents in his pocket when he died. Those 5 cents came down to me in a ring box. I sent them in to PCGS and had them graded and entombed and then put them away with a note of what they were and why they were special. It's unlikely, even if the 5 cent coins get separated that they will ever be spent or maybe put into a Whitman penny album to be forgotten.
At least it wasn't submitted under the Mint Error tier,
which many are !

So, that is why I could see sending that coin in.
Someone in disbelief payed some tuition to be told they were wrong.
I wonder what the tool was that made those nice little buttons.
At least it wasn't submitted under the Mint Error tier,
