That is why I notice so many numismatists glorifying these grading companies..
I'm tired of hearing, "CACG is better than PCGS, PCGE is better than NGC, and that NGC is better than ANACS, oh, don't buy ICG, they don't grade well".
They are all human with their own opinions, no one is better than the other.
The thing that gets me is that more than one grader sees each coin and gives their opinion on it, this holds with overraded PCGS, don't know about the others..
I am very disappointed with CACG regarding the decision of my so-called "PO1" 1878 S Morgan. Hopefully, they (CACG) are reading this message and will recognize and admit that they have dropped the ball on this.
But I must say this before ending: The Reverse of my 1878 S Morgan is a PO1.

Why not ask them to redo it for such an egregious screw up? From all the feedback here, this seems like much more of a mistake than a difference of opinion.

The OP's Morgan would go from a $35 coin to a $400 coin if they did...

I thought about contacting them, maybe I will since so many of you are of the same opinion. Thanks again for the input all.

You would be wasting your time contacting PCGS about a grade. Crack it out and send to CACG or resend to PCGS.

And give PCGS another chance in grading this coin, No Way!
You sound like you don't like NGC, judging by your omission of them.

Here's a photo I just took of one of my coins to show the OP what PCGS once graded as FR02
A significant difference in the FR02 grade between the OP's and this one...
