Flowing Hair Dollar incorrectly identified on PCGS Holder label.

Hi,

I just purchased a PCGS holdered 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar from one of the Featured Dealers listed on the PCGS website.

One quirk is that the coin is identified by coin number on the holder label as being of the "three leaf" variety when in fact the coin is of the "two leaf" variety.

Likewise, when I use the certification verification function on the PCGS website it lists the variety as three leaves.

Obviously, one purchases a holdered coin to diminish uncertainty on upon purchase and sale and I am concerned about this, both for my own peace of mind as well as for difficulty I may encounter upon any future resale.

Can you tell me what you think should be done in this circumstance? An image of the holdered coin is below:

    Hi Joe,

    Your coin is in an old holder and was graded before we began to recognize the 2 leaves variety. Send the coin back in to my attention and we'll change the designation for you. The 2 leaves is a more valuable coin.

    Thanks,

    David
