The old green label PCGS holders have always been my favorite from an aesthetic perspective. Also, several of my personal favorite coins are housed in them. The only time I've ever cracked one out was when there was a long crack in the plastic directly over the obverse of the coin.
So let's see some nice OGH coins. If there's a story behind its acquisition, feel free to tell it. But please no retro green labels in this thread.
I'll start it off with this New Rochelle that I've owned for probably fifteen years or so. I was attending a Long Beach show and was heading for the exit when I walked by Larry Shepherd's table and had a last look at the eye candy in his case. This commemorative really jumped out at me, but he was asking almost 50% over sheet and after mulling it over for a few minutes, I decided to pass. Can't remember if I was all the way out of the bourse before I said "s*rew it, I want that coin", turned around and went back to buy it. I've certainly gotten my money's worth in enjoyment over the years since, and have never once regretted the purchase.

I love your coin and it is a great idea for a thread.
This coin was purchased at FUN about a half-dozen years ago. The seller wanted a premium vs. the going rate of PCGS certified MS65 Barber half dollars, but it really didn't seem like much of a jump, in my opinion. From the time I had it in my hand and was quoted a price I knew I would be taking it back with me.

Great Thread. This is a favorite...yellow green label with yellow gasket. The gasket is crystal clear and amber. Take care...

Nice coins. I like that holder as well. Here is one of mine.

A few of my early Jefferson nickel proofs are in green labels......that's how I know they are DCAMs.
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

And since I don't think there will ever be a dark side OGH thread:
My current "Box of 20"
Mine are long since gone. I did have several of the rattlers, which everyone wanted in the later 90's,
I did have several of the green holders that you want and have bought some back but that was the only rattler I had. Things have changed!
WOW, the quality of coins posted so far is spectacular!!
Please keep them coming. In order to keep this thread going for awhile, I propose that folks limit themselves to posting one coin per day.
p.S. Rattlers (even ones with greenish labels) are not the subject of this thread.
A PQ+ Specimen for sure

Ahhhhh....it's the next day so I can post another coin!
Folks might not be able to readily tell, but the following half dollar has that "old-time" mossy-frost look of something that was tucked away or forgotten about or simply lost for years and years and when it was found again there was (fortunately) no one there to decide to "improve" it. It's not the flashiest coin, it's not the highest graded example; it doesn't have mint-fresh untoned surfaces nor might it be legitimately termed a rainbow. It's just beautiful (in my opinion).
