Why would I get a grade of Brilliant Uncirculated instead of a MS grade?

I got some grades today. I sent 22 coins. (2) were exact same date and denomation.
(1) graded MS69, the other is listed as Brilliant Uncirculated.
All other coins got MS grades. I can't figure this one out?
Anybody have any ideas?

I'll see if I can find the code before someone else does

I will call tomorrow,,,, in the meantine what am I offered for "The Highest KNOWN" graded PCGS Coin
<< <i>possibly a chinese panda gold and sometimes are not gradable >>
Someone has been over to The World Coin Forum
If the label reads BU89 I think I'll put it up on eBay
I never got a good answer from PCGS
for mine either.
A blast from the past and my post.
I don't even remember the order or the details or the coin in question.
Update,,,
I went back thru my past order history. It was a Gold Panda.
I still don't recall the outcome but either PCGS fixed it or I cracked it out and resubmitted the coin because I know it ended up in a PCGS MS69 holder in my set.
This is the other coin mentioned in my OP. Same date and MS69.
2nd update,,,,,
The more that I think about it didn't grade because of a spot on it that I didn't see when I originally sent it in. I cracked it out and removed the spot and it graded MS69 the 2nd time. That explains why the 1st cert still shows. I never sent it back in.
3rd update,,,,,,
The coin with a spot was a Gold Panda but a different one, It was in a MS68 holder and graded MS69 after I removed the spot.
Don't have a clue as of now why the coin graded genuine BU89?
I still think the original coin ended up in an PCGS MS69 holder.
Thanks for the update
I knew he'd get around to it sooner or later.
