I am going to guess that these two coins were both changed at the Quality Control stage. This would have been by an experienced numismatist. However, the person fixing the labels would not be, and they simply got switched. Yes, someone should have caught it, but they didn't.
Give PCGS the opportunity to correct the mistakes, and hope that YOUR next mistake does not get plastered all over someone's message board. Not a firing situation, just a humorous one.

I dunno, sounds like a wash... >>
Not when one coin is deserving of the 65 and the other is deserving of the 64. The 64'd coin gets in a mechanical error 65 holder and the 65 coin gets a 64 holder and is sent back for regrading, then there's potentially 2-65's in holders now. A big jump in price. Not good for the person who bought the 64 coin in the 65 holder. >>

What part of "
I would call immediately and arrange for a return and some freebies. This does nothing to help with the PCGS goodwill.
