Conder101 reports NGC began use of the generation 4 holder towards the end of 1898 and continued in use until perhaps 1995, he did not have an exact timeframe. This holder change came about due to a counterfeiting scare with PCGS slabs, to combat that NGC changed the reverse from the foil logo to a hologram logo. It was believed that the hologram would be far more difficult for any counterfeiters to replicate than the foil logo.
This coin is a part of my date/mm Lincoln cent collection, a coin I purchased from a fellow collector on the PCGS coin forum in 2010. I personally think it would be graded higher if resubmitted today. A very nice holder with a full and intact reverse logo hologram also with CAC green bean approval. The holder still has a dealer or auction house inventory sticker on the reverse, it would be interesting if I could find out who's sticker that is.
