It's from at least a year ago but nothing super old like the large size PCI "photo slabs" of the late 1980's.

Not possible to tell if it's old or old. One would need to see the serial number to tell for sure; 10 digits, good, 14 digits, bad. My hunch, looking at the font, is that it's a 14 digit.

Edit: On second thought, the "6" looks like old font. Might be 10 digit.

Definitely looks like the old font style. Check out my personal version of k6az's infamous side-by-side comparison pic. The label in the auction has the old-style 6 and the 1's have short serifs, to point out the two most obvious markers.

Old Holder for sure. The 6 has a striaght tail. New holders have this tail curved like this:6

PCI 5 used from 1991 to 2000, 10 digit serial number.

Yep, that is the old slab from after they took over Hallmark up until 1999. I've found some of the best Morgans in these holders. One was a 1899-O that PCI had graded 65 - it made 66 at PCGS.

The "g" in "mintage" is the also giveaway this is an older PCI make.*






*Secondly, does PCI even use the MS64 grade anymore?! I thought everything is at least MS67 these days!

Thanks everybody for the info, now if I can only force myself to pull the trigger on a pci slab I might have a good prospect for a crossover.

I crossed a PCI MS64 90% red 1972 double die last year to PCGS MS64 Red (Invoice #3113006) along with several other PCI green label coins. They all were green label, but I don't know if they were the older ones.

Forgeting the slab for a moment,even with the crummy pics I'd say it has a shot at PCGS MS64 RD.
