This is a two piece slab. The center part is the same small </font></font></p><p><font size="2"><font face="Arial">&quot;rattler&quot; shell seen on <b>PCGS 1</b> (note the four alignment pins in the </font></font></p><p><font size="2"><font face="Arial">corners around the coin). The second part is a plastic border thatwraps around </font></font></p><p><font size="2"><font face="Arial">the edge of the slab and forms the raised lip that now lets the slabs stack and </font></font></p><p><font size="2"><font face="Arial">interlock. Other security measures taken were the addition of a barcode to the </font></font></p><p><font size="2"><font face="Arial">front label and a hologram to the back label. This was also the last variety </font></font></p><p><font size="2"><font face="Arial">that did not have the companies initials on the front label. The front label is </font></font></p><p><font size="2"><font face="Arial">off white with a green tinge to it. This faint green is formed by thousands of </font></font></p><p><font size="2"><font face="Arial">tiny green dots that are only visible under magnification. This variety was used </font></font></p><p><font size="2"><font face="Arial">in Oct and Nov of 1989.</font></font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH]113509.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
