NGC type 4 holder.

Holder has a light tan outlined (border) label on the front containing the date, grade & serial number. The NGC scales logo appears in white print on a tan horzontally lined background. (Earlier issues of this type holder had a green border & background.) The type 4 holder is distinguished from the type 5 by its lack of a barcode.

Holder reverse has a nearly full-width hologram of NGC's scales logo along with the words "Numismatic Guaranty Corporation of America". (This is the same hologram used on the later type 5 and type 6 holders.) Because the hologram was adhered to the outside of the plastic case, it was subject to scuffing and damage, such as that caused by trying to remove inventory labels & price tags placed over it by dealers & sellers.

This holder type was issued by NGC from about August 1989 through around 1992.

NGC type 8.1 holder.

This type holder is similar to the type 7 holder with the darker background for the scales & placement of the serial number in a normal font above the barcode on the front label, much different from the type 8 holder. The hologram on the reverse appears similar in design to the type 7, however, like the type 8, the hologram on the 8.1 holder is about 1cm larger & 1.5 cm wider than the type 7.
This type holder was issued by NGC from September 2000 through July 2001.

(Note: This example is graded PF 70 W Ultra Cam. The “W” designation on the front label was used to indicate that a silver or nickel coin was entirely untoned, and its application was limited to certain modern series. It was used by NGC for about 2-1/2 years (until August 2002) to distinguish between toned and untoned coins.)
