<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1560469, member: 66"]There was a change in the OGH in 1995. Before that time the color in the labels was not colorfast an they would fade to all different colors. These have large digits in the serial number and and start at or to the left of the left edge of the barcode. Starting in mid 1995 the changed the ink in the labels and from then on they stayed green. These have smaller digits in the serial number and it starts to the right of the left edge of the barcode. I refer to these as OGH and NGH (new green holders). Most people do not differentiate them and do not realize they are different. Then they run into one of the off color labels and wonder what it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>The rattler holders do not damage the coins in them because the inside of the lenses over the coin are concave and do not touch the surfaces of the coin. The only place where the coin can touch the lens is at the outer edge of the rim. So even if it rotates the surfaces of the coin do not rub against the plastic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
