Would you be concerned if the PCGS holder label incorrectly identified your coin?

I recently discovered that my PCGS holdered 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar is identified by coin number on the holder label as being of the "three leaf" variety, (6852), when in fact the coin is of the "two leaf" variety, (6853).
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.
Any thoughts on this? An image of the holdered coin is below:

I'd write a post about it
All kidding aside, wouldn't a call or email to PCGS fix this? I would imagine this is not the first time for this. Did you want to retain the green insert? And, NICE COIN!

I followed up with a phone call to PCGS customer service and was told to wait for a response to my email.
I have posted on the Q&A board to Mr. Hall.
I have not, as of yet, received any reply from PCGS regarding the matter.
Another Question: why are green labels preferred?
it is said that the different colored labels/slabs may signify coins that were graded at different times when standards were tighter, thus a potential higher grade coin. People seem to prefer the "old green PCGS holders". Someone in here has a chart that can tell when a PCGS coin was graded based on the color of the label and other slab features such as the bar code and such. I guess it really is an issue to issue thing. I just look at the coins

i am always amazed when i hear of members having difficulty with PCGS customer service. perhaps it's a simple matter of individual tact and style when talking to them. either way, you should have no problem resolving this quickly and painlessly.
you have two choices as i see it, Designation Review or Regrade. with Designation Review, the coin would be reholdered at the same grade with the proper designation. with Regrade it would be graded and receive the same thing and the possibility of a higher grade.
you should decide what you think is best and submit the coin accordingly. call PCGS and start all over without mention of any prior e-mails. just explain that you have a coin which is wrongly attributed and you'd like to know how to submit it for whatever your choice of the two highlighted options is. then again, if you're sure of the specifics, just submit the coin without calling.

in the meantime, i surely think you have $$$ due from pcgs for an erroneously attributed coin whose attribution influences it's value. that should include date, mm, variety & pedigree.
