It's been nearly a year since I last updated the census numbers for the scarce/rare ANACS holders. So, it's as good a time to as any to update them now.
Photo Cert Type 1: 9 2019-present - Up 2 from a year ago with those two coming up in the last 2 months. Photo Cert Type 2: 4 2019-present - Unchanged Gen 3 Slab: 108 2015-present - Up 12. This to holds to the 10-12 average new holders that show up each year. Gen 7.0 Slab: 68 2015-present - Up 8 Problem Gen P2: 5 2014-present - Up 1 Problem Gen P3: 5 2015-present - Unchanged Problem Gen P4: 24 2018-present - Up 4 Problem Gen P6.5: 32 2015-present - Up 2
I have been collecting photo certs and SWH now for over 12 years and have 63 photo certs types 1-10 and many transfers.
Type 1 I just bought and you have it on your list A4555, 1932-D Quarter
Type 2 is on your list E5778A. 1976 Proof set, Half with reverse struck thru thread.
But the other 61 photo certs you don't have.
SWH I have 158, And still looking for more.

Is this a Generation 3 holder? If so, what year did they stop using them?
No, I don't believe yours is a Gen. 3 slab. Yours is one of the later slabs where the bar code was left off to make room for additional information (in this case "Broadstruck Clashed Dies").
One way you can tell is that your cert number is seven digits and all of the Gen. 3 slabs only have six digit cert. numbers. Additionally all of the cert. numbers on Gen. 3 slabs begin with a "3" if I am not mistaken.
To answer your other question, it is believed that the Gen. 3 slabs were only produced for a few weeks in 1991.

Thank you for the information. I really like the size of this slab and will keep an eye out for others.

@bob48 I'm saving photos of every photo cert I run across so if you want to post or DM me with anything you have, I will gladly add them to the mix.
