PCGS label mistake

They forgot to put the mint mark on the label, is this a good or bad thing and what to do.
Thank you

    Call customer service on Monday. They will have you send it back in to fix. Ask them to pay for shipping both ways. It was their mistake.

    This is the first time they have made a mistake on any of my Coins.

    They (PCGS) will take care of it at no cost to you.

    If a no mint mark coin of that date is worth more, it's a good thing! Haha, just kidding, of course ;) Some people like mechanical errors, so it really is up to you.

    There are people who try to sell these "mechanical errors" on fleaBay for crazy money. Note try - rarely do they sell for that. Maybe a few bucks if it's a crazy error (says Lincoln cent but the coin is a Saint).

    As others have said PCGS will fix.

    Late last year PCGS miss-labelled a 2017 coin a few of them. I called customer service and they had one of their specialist call me back. I had to do a few things explaining what happened and he simply gave me a Fed Ex receipt I had to print it out and afix it to the pkg. It was accepted by Fed Ex and in short order I got my corrected coins as if it never happened. Very smooth operation. Glad I made the call.

    Until corrected you won’t be able to add it to your registry set in its right area-until corrected. It will only allow you to add it where the label indicates I had a half labeled as a quarter. They fixed it at no charge

    I have a 21-D Morgan Pcgs MS-64 that is labeled as a 21-P

    I just sent one in to fix couple weeks ago at no cost to me, except my time.

    I have a 1936-d San Diego comem labeled Pcgs 67 CAC. Only it is a really nice 1935-s.

    While attributing auction images of 1860 half dimes, I found 4 slabs where the auction description and slab label said 1860, but the coin was 1860-o.
    It's a tiny mintmark. One has to wonder if the buyer or seller noticed it, either!

    well, if it is a 1901 P vs 1901 S Barber quarter, it COULD make a difference

    good move.
    I hope you cherry picked it.
