PCGS Gereration type holder question

I found a PCGS type 5.0 holder with the word 'TYPE' spelled out.
I was wondering if this might qualify as a different type for the generations? Or does it have to be the same coin in the same type of holder only with the labeling different?

Condor gave you the answer in his last post....
At the moment there is still only one variety of PCGS 5. The only way something like this would get a subvariety listing would be for the same reason the PCGS 6 did, if they reference the same kind of coin in more than one manner. If you can find a PCGS 5 that list the bicentennial as Type 1 or Type 2 and not T1 or T2 then I would consider a subvariety listing. (This would also go for Type 1 and 2 SLQ, 1913 Buffalos etc.)
Cameron would list different subvarieties for the same slab type simply because it had a different coin in the holder. If I did that for production slabs then every generation would have dozens of subvarieties.

 

Actually that is a good step for a subvariety listing. I would really like to see one coin type listed both ways, but we now have some PCGS 5's listed as T and some as Type. I'll have to think about it but 5.1 and 5.2 are now definite possibilities.

 

Thanks, I will keep looking for the same coin with both the 'T' and 'TYPE' listing.
I have started a file for pictures on PCGS 4 and 5, Just incase I find the same date and mint mark in the holders.

 

Is this a 3.5 variety as per Condors list..thanks

 

Yes that's a 3.5, tough variety of slab. Unfortunately not eyecatchingly distinctive so it is under appreciated.
