Help. Anybody seen something like this before? Note the PCGS holo sticker is slightly different too, more rounded.

Both are Gen 3.0 slabs (1990-early 1993). The insert color was unstable, they often faded to light blue & I have seen a couple that had turned a sickly-looking faded creamy color. The slight "rounding" of the hologram decal isn't unusual.

Now listen boy, I'm tryin' to teach you sumthin' . . . . that ain't no optical illusion, it only looks like an optical illusion.

The color dyes used were unstable and these appear with colors ranging from bright blue through all shades of green to canary yellow.

Don't you just love the old slabs? Box of 20 can take about 30
BTW...nice coin!
I never imagined @FadeToBlack wearing white socks!

I am glad to learn of the color variations on the old slabs. Interesting and new knowledge.

I sure wish the images hadn't disappeared from this thread.
