The PCGS Generation 3.0 holder, produced from 1990 to 1993, is an iconic "Old Green Holder" (OGH) featuring a green-hued certification label, molded "PCGS" initials on the lower right front plastic corner, and a copyright warning printed on the reverse label. Key Features of Gen 3.0 (1990–1993) are:

The Label: Light green/yellowish hue with the PCGS logo positioned higher up compared to older generations.

Reverse Side: Includes a copyright warning text printed directly on the label.

Plastic Housing: Molded "PCGS" raised letters appear in the front lower right corner of the slab.

The Gasket: The inner plastic ring (gasket) holding the coin is notorious for turning a faded yellow or neon green color over time due to chemical aging.
