Produced Sept. 1987 - Nov 1987. This 1st generation holder features a black insert. The white label was placed on rear and the logo on the front of holder. It is estimated that 3000 coins were slabbed in this holder. However it seems most were cracked out. Current census figures put the number of survivors known at only 49. This number will probably go up a bit as more are discovered over time... (Updated 11/12/23)

Produced Nov. 1987 - Dec 1987 along with Gen 2.1. This holder features the white front label on a white insert and the rear features an embossed gold logo on outside of holder. This holder is believed to have been produced for about 2 weeks. Estimates are that 4000-5000 were produced, however that seems high unless this holder was produced longer currently believed. Current census figures put it at 266 known examples but this census was begun early 2019 so numbers will go up...

Produced in Nov. 1987. This holder features the white label on white insert and embossed rear logo on insert instead of outside of holder. It is now accepted that this holder was very likely used before Gen 2 but it is commonly known as Gen 2.1, I see no reason to mess with tradition. In any case both are scarce. This holder appears rarer than 2.0 and is believed to have been in production for about a week. It is estimated that about 3500 coins were slabbed in this holder. Current census figures put the number of survivors known at 257, census started in Jan 2012. This number will likely go up some as more are discovered...

NGC Gen 13.5
This holder was produced about Sept 2008 - Dec 2008 possibly into early 2009. This holder retains the solid insert of Gen 13 but the front and rear labels are redesigned and used also with Gen 14. I read that this was made alongside Gen 14 upon request or possibly used for bulk submissions or It may have been a transition holder but I do not know for sure. In any case I am calling it Gen 13.5 as it doesn't appear to be a stand alone holder...Rarity ~ Occasional

NGC Gen 14.1
This holder was produced in 2012 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the original Gen 1 black holder. These black insert holders were available alongside the standard white insert holders on certain denominations of US coins. I thought they should be recognized along with the standard white holders, so I am calling this black insert holder Gen 14.1. I've left out black holders of later generations as they were used almost exclusively for bullion... Rarity ~ Occasional
