WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THIS PCGS HOLDER?

VernoVerno Posts: 327 ✭✭✭

Cant recall seeing this particular color combination? Time period and thoughts? Yellow gasket?
Saw an old thread from 2003 on the topic but no pictures or conclusive comments.

Thanks! RJ

    The colored ring does give a nice contrast!

    Love the looks. Great contrast. Great grade. Great coin date. What is not to like? Keep it as is.

    [...]

    Appears to be a GEN3.0 (JAN1990 - FEB1993), or a GEN3.1 (MAR1993 - SEP1998) holder.

    Note - There was a stability issue with the label dye in the GEN3.0 holders. As a result, these labels can be found in various hues from blue to yellow.

    To distinguish between the two possibilities, examine the back of the label. GEN3.0 has nothing beneath the PCGS logo, while GEN3.1 says "PCGS COPYING PROHIBITED".

    Edited: Not sure what happened, but when the thread was revived in 2023, the link to the "PCGS Museum of Coin Holders" needed to 'updated/corrected'.

    Nice coin. Looks MS66 to me.

  • VernoVerno Posts: 327 ✭✭✭

    Looks to be 3.0 based on reverse....the colors are just great to look at (toned holders are hot I hear!).
    Occasionally, you have to buy the holder.....

    Nice coin and, yes, I dig how the gasket has turned green.

    I have seen this happen before but not very often.

    Cool all the way around. B)

    I’m a big fan of these yellow colored rings. I see them on Morgans more than any other coins.

    Why not buy some coins in this generation of slab and then expose them to sun light over a period of time and create your own yellow ring slabs? There was a pawn shop that I would occasionally visit that had some inexpensive PCGS slabs displayed in their front window that was in the sun and everyone of them had the yellow rings.

    Yep seen these a good bit on Morgans. Nice coin that appears to be an upgrade candidate. Holder is cool though and not big jump to 66.

    Nice resurrection of an interesting topic!

    The Color contrast IMO, is an added benefit.
