What does OGH stand for?

[Dwaine]

I see people refer to some of the PCGS holders as OGH. What does that stand for?

Old Green Holder

That's what I thought but wasn't 100% sure.

Any more, it stands of OverGraded Holder .

[TomB]

Literally it is an abbreviation for Old Green Holder, but subliminally it is a suggestion to pay more for the possibility of obtaining a currently undergraded coin even though the current owner knows it will not upgrade and, hence, the reason for the OGH hype.

It stands for instant upgrade in some people's mind for that is not always the case.

OGH = Old Green Holder, 1990 - 1998 holders I believe.

 

Many believe these coins will upgrade if resubmitted. Be careful if buying these, look for green PVC damage to the coin. If there is green PVC haze or green toning this is a sign of PVC and that the coin needs a dip.
