Date MM wrong on PCGS holder...how to get corrected?

Not sure how to submit this back for correcting. Not really sure it's fault of PCGS, it came back with the Date MM that I submitted.

A few years ago I purchased a 1877 seated dime from a dealer in New York for my type set. Recently sent to PCGS. It came back labeled as such and PCGS Genuine (cleaned). I had several come back Genuine and have been studying them to learn more about grading. While examining this dime I notice it is in fact a 1877 CC. Never noticed it before, has some toning around the edge and into the area where the MM is located, as I was titling it it popped right out at me, now I can see it plain as day any way I look at it. IT bugs me this is incorrect on the holder. Is this something they will correct with just a reholder fee? I hate to spend grading fees again on a cleaned coin.
I never met a coin that wouldn't fit in my collection.....

    In my experience, when this happens a quick e-mail or call to customer service usually gets you a very positive response. PCGS makes the occasional mistake, but they are very good at correcting such mistakes.

    Makes you wonder what else might be wrong on that label... maybe it's also in a genuine holder by mistake??? how would you know for sure??

    If possible, take it to the next big show in your area where PCGS is set up. PCGS will be very anxious to fix this screw-up.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
