Excited to pick this one up ...
Snapped some indirect sunlight shots with my iPhone ... color balance might be a bit wonky, as I am not a professional photographer and my camera phone struggles sometimes. Top photo might be too red and the bottom photo too golden -- but the green label looks somewhat reasonable.
The obverse explodes with blue and gold when you angle it into the light; and the reverse toning is sublime.

Just kidding of course. It's a nice looking proof.

Does anyone know what generation old green holder this is? (What year it might have gotten slabbed).
Looks like this sold for $414 in April 2002 and it was OGH slabbed back then ... so it's been slabbed for at least 11 years.
Heritage April 2002 Auction
Lance, In terms of "where I found these" ... I bought the 1910 and 1914 off Heritage ... the 1909 from Duane Blake ... the 1913 I bought in a shopping center parking lot last Summer (long story) ... the 1912 and 1915 I bought off eBay. Two of the six I bought in the high 3 digits -- and 4 of the 6 were less than $1500. Not bad on prices, certainly cheaper than these coins might have sold for during the peak MPL boom in the 2007-2009 time frame.

Time and great patience is paying off in spades.
You have picked a great time to be plucking these coins from your venues.
The availability appears to be up and prices maybe greater than 50% of what they were 2-3 years ago.
Your set so far is one of the most eye appealing sets I've seen. For sure it would take some dynamite coins to out-eye appeal it.
Great job finding these.
