A PCGS (newer) slab I haven't seen before. Please help identify.

I'd appreciate any help in identifying it.
It offers four 'rivets' on the front with two small indent/dots on each side of the label.
The reverse hologram is a deep green with 'pcgs' in gold. When the slab is moved or rotated, there appears some sort of number within the hologram.

I am NOT an expert on counterfeits. So, I cannot verify authenticity.
That said, it looks to be a PCGS Museum GEN 5.0.
It looks like the DuPont label slab.

Those were used in 2014 if I remember right. It’s my favorite generation slab.
Tom is correct this is a DuPont style slab.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
I have some like that never thought much about it.
The plastic was super clear, however I remember many of them where the center viewing area was higher than the stacking tabs. This cause a great deal of scratches right in the viewing area.
I had this coin certified about 10 years ago and thought the label on the back of the holder looked a bit odd too.
In addition to possible enhanced scuffing over the viewing area these slabs had their holograms partially tear off quite easily. This was likely due to the notches or cuts in them along the edges.

the auction house labels would peel off the holo
It is the 5.0 that you linked.
I took one out just now and mine has all the same features @braddick highlighted in his post.
Yes January 2014 to May 2015.
I like this generation as well-not exclusively for the slab but also because I've seen some great coins in this slab (including a few that later upgraded-unfortunately I did not buy those).
