You nailed it - noticeable contact marks behind eagle head. In fact there is wear on Indians eyebrow, cheek, jawbone and lips where the color is disturbed

There is no wear on that coin.
I don’t see any wear, either. And I agree that the marks in the upper right reverse field are the issue.
The glorious color and luster were obviously enough for the coin to fly at PCGS, and I don't mind the huge dingleberry, but the marks behind the eagle's head do seem too severe for a CAC 65. (Edited to add that the rim nick above IC also doesn't help.)
Looks like graffiti on both the Indian and the fat head. On the Indian it looks like a large H with and x in the middle. Maybe the chatter was to try and cover it up. The fat head has the obvious x below America but I’m thinking coin hound is onto something to the right of the eagles head.

That's not graffiti on the QE. Graffiti is, by definition, clearly intentional scratches. Which is most obvious when the scratches form letters and words, of course, but can also include things like a simple X if it seems intentional. (Sometimes, it's just a judgment call.) Anyway, in the case of the QE, the marks don't look intentional in the least, so not graffiti.
