    Yes, they are often known as rattlers.

    If the loose coin is crooked in the slab, it can be straightened by holding the slab in the vertical position and slowly rotating it like a propeller--the coin will gradually roll around into the position you want.

    Would'nt this cause contact marks on the high points of the coin? and thus lessening the grade?

    Real common.
    I opened up a Priority Mail box the other day but I couldn't see inside because of all the foam peanuts. I heard something rattling around and I said yep there's the 83-O I been waiting on.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    What's that? Eh? Sorry, I can't hear over the rattling of these dinky slabs ... image And, you do have a rarity, Russ, with that non-rattler. image

    They could be used for calypso music instruments.

    I'm a sucker for the old rattlers. I just can't pass them up if I have the dough.
