Does anyone have PCGS Generation 2.0 slabs?

This was the transition between rattler and OGH. They have a bluish perforated label and a very thick holder. I picked up a nice York for my OGH Commem set today and it came in this holder. What surprises me is how thick it is. It's even substantially thicker than the new PCGS holders.

    Yep - but prefer the sample version.

    That's the one. Very interesting holder.

    I always liked the way PCGS graded at that time. These holders are still reasonably available within the market, but I only have one coin in this generation at this time.

    I am pretty sure this one is in that holder:

    Barberkeys, that's a 2.5 and definitely welcome on this thread. From what I've read the 2.5s were only used 1 week in 1989.

    That IHC by Barberkeys and the WLH by ACop are in 3.5 holders and not the 2.5 version. In a 2.5 the barcode line and the coin number are even with each other on the left, and in the 3.5 the coin number line starts to the left of the barcode line.

    Here is a 2.5 insert.



    The 2.0 and 3.5 versions are generally a lot easier to come by than the 2.5s are.

    So far I have seen three with the perforated top in this thread there are a couple of other generations imaged here as well.



    I do remember seeing a couple of my PCGS holders with the green insert reverse, just not sure about the perforated top.



    Just checked my Photobucket library, and most of my images are focused on the coin and not the holder. I remember reading that somewhere.

    The Lakes pic is of the 2.0. The barcode and cert lines start even with each other on the left. The 2.5 is the 2.0 but has the letters PCGS top and middle.

    Following are PCGS slab photos of my recently purchased 1921 Peace Dollar, which IMO is conservatively graded per the standards of that 2nd Gen slab time period.



    It's composed of 2 pieces, the old rattler holder with plastic collar added for additional security.

    Love the slabs for the 1917-S SLQ and 1943 WLH, especially for the gaskets.
  • oih82w8oih82w8 Posts: 12,782 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I miss the solid gaskets. I don't care for the "edge-view" prong type gasket.

    I think it would be nice if PCGS let the submitter choose between edge-view and solid gaskets. They would get more reholder fees and collectors would get more choice.
