Not my coin. Photo credit to the PCGS museum of holders. This is the very first holder style used by PCGS in the first month of operation in 1986. As this generation was only used for a few weeks to a month in early 1986, it is thought there are less than 25 of these holders still extant today, In the book that Conder101 published he lumped all the rattler style holders under one generation. This is partly because the only difference between the rattler holders is a slight change in the placement of the lettering on the label from gen 1 to gen 1.1, and a change in the label color from gen 1.1 to gen 1.2. It is easy to see how the minor change in placement of lettering could be missed, and being colorblind Conder did not see the label color difference.
This is not my coin, I borrowed the photos from the PCGS museum of holders as I have never seen (in hand) and do not own an example of this holder.
