    1944-PCGS MS64 CAC a-horz.jpg PCGS 2 This was the first attempt by PCGS to increase the security of
    their slabs. This is a two piece slab. The center part is the same small
    "rattler" shell seen on PCGS 1 (note the four alignment pins in the
    corners around the coin). The second part is a plastic border thatwraps around
    the edge of the slab and forms the raised lip that now lets the slabs stack and
    interlock. Other security measures taken were the addition of a barcode to the
    front label and a hologram to the back label. This was also the last variety
    that did not have the companies initials on the front label. The front label is
    off white with a green tinge to it. This faint green is formed by thousands of
    tiny green dots that are only visible under magnification. This variety was used
    in Oct and Nov of 1989.
