What generation slab is this?

At first I thought it was the standard green holder slab, but the lettering on the obverse is very weak and perhaps a slightly different font, and the "PCGS" on the reverse is raised. Additionally, it doesn't stack properly with other PCGS holders. Did it precede the standard green holder?

I'm under the impression this type of slab was immediately after the 'rattlers'

sampleslabs.com this might help some.

He's correct. That's a "slab in a slab" - an outer plastic shell around a rattler.

Thanks guys, "slab in a slab" interesting.

I had one with the outer plastic rims...i.e. rectangle part outline....was loose frome the old rattler.
You could pull on both sides or the top and bottom, and 'it' would pull away...maybe a 32nd of
an inch. But it was notable.

Steve:

That is a PCGS 2 an increasingly scarce slab. This was issed before the doily holder which was the first slab with "PCGS" on the tag.

Hang onto it. It is worth saving.
