Nice job!

Very cool. I'm seriously considering a rattler box of 20. I would probably do a Walker short set though, or maybe 20 commems.
Really nice!! 👍 And I like the box!

A WLH short set is very much a possible set with rattlers. Good luck if you go for it.

Very cool!

A 1936 set of commems seems like a good possibility also. There are 21 but I’d skip Robinson since there’s already an Arkansas issue.
Very cool @coinguy82 I have been acquiring Rattlers as well. I hope you are able to head over to my Gold CAC Rattler thread and post those that you are showing here

Cool project!
Rattlers have a serious following. I recently sold a dozen Mercury Rattlers on GC. Mostly common date MS63-65 coins, with nice original toning. Very happy with the results.

Good Job!
Get them while you can, because they’re getting scarcer and more expensive! Great progress so far and cool concept. I am working on two boxes of 20. Morgans and SLQs. I have 18 and 13 filled, respectively.

I'm an OGH fan and dislike the rattler holder - don't own any! However, I'm glad you are enthused!

Same. I only own 2 rattlers (both CAC stickered) and prefer OGHs and Fatties.

Awesome take on a Box of 20! No rattlers, but I've got a couple in OGHs...

Same here, and I’ll add that rattlers seem to suffer far worse scratches and scuffs, at least those I’ve that handled. That alone kicks my OCD into high gear.
Of course if it’s a great coin, I don’t much care about the holder.
