These holders have grown on me over time.
Picked this one up the other day and it's a real clean coin with strong bands. The holder is in "like new" condition also, which adds to the whole package. :)
Who else likes this generation holder?
Let's see some!

    I really like the Gen 2 holders. Too bad so many dealers put their stickers on the reverse. Many of the holograms were destroyed that way. Tough to find nice ones.

    These early gen. 2.xx OGHs are some of my favorites. When I first started buying certified coins (1989-1992), these were abundant. So were rattlers, that, at I time I thought were cheap looking and didn’t purchase. I’ve since come around. I must own between 20-30 of them. Here are a few from that time period that I bought or had them sent in by my dealer at the time.

    Nice coins here.

    2.1 is the clamshell, right? Sometimes it’s hard to tell in the photos.

    Yes, it’s a two-piece shell.

    There seems to be some confusion about the Gen 2.1 slabs. Here’s the parameters:
    1) the label is a pale green & of perforated cardboard stock;
    2) it has a plastic collar surrounding a 2 part holder (aka “clamshell”);
    3) the PCGS logo is in plastic on the bottom right of the collar (this is an important distinction);
    4) “PCGS” may or may not appear at the top center of the tag (this is confusing but a fact).
    Hope this helps!

    This is a 3.1.

    @jfriedm56 Only your 1972 DDO is a Generation 2.1. The rest are 3.0 or 3.1s.
