Very early, I have a Trade Dollar in this kind of holder. Not the first generation, since the first had the black core, but very soon after that.

What do you mean by "black core"? The part that grips the coin?

Yes, NGC started with a black plastic core. Examples of these are extremely hard to find on the market.

I have a San Diego commemorative in that kind of holder that was purchased before 1995. It has a gold scale embossed into the back, no barcode front or back. Pre 1995 is the best I can tell you as that would indicate when I got it.

I have one like this. It's got the gold label on the back (instead of hologram). Actually, 2. One is a rainbow morgan, the other a merc. The morgan's grade, I think is 63 but they had it at 64 (bumped for rainbow) and the merc is 65 (don't disagree).

Thats an oldie... here is an example of a 1st gen "black' holder. I forgot who scanned this (Its from a while back)

Dog97

It's the 3rd.
2nd had no logo on front.
4th started the hologram.
9th is the current.

It is either a 3rd generation (1987 - 89) or 4th generation (1989 - 92). The auction does not show the bak of the slab and it doesn't mention whether it has a hologram on the back or not so you can't tell for sure which it is.

Rwhite,

The first generation holder you posted is mine. That is the coin in my reference set and the example used to represent the variety in the book. I need to redo the scans though, it just doesn't do it justice. It is much nicer in person.
