Adaptors for old rattler

Blade

I have a few PCGS coins in old "rattler" holders. The trouble is I like to keep my registry collection in order in PCGS or NGC boxes and the darn things just don't fit. Has anyone heard of an adaptor which can hold an old rattler and make it fit into the space of a PCGS holder? Call me anal, but it's driving me nuts.

Ummm, I carefully slip them into the 2.5X2.5 SAFLIP flips, tape the overhang, and they fit nicely into the blue boxes....

Cool - Not as elegant of a solution as I hoped but I'll try anything that works.

Has anyone tried the adaptors in the Eagle binders? Not sure if they even have them for rattlers.

I've used the Eagle binder adaptors for 2x2 and ANACS holders. They
work fine for the Eagle binders; nice and snug. You could always make
your own custom ones I guess.

You could get them reholdered.

I would get them re- holdered. They would fit into your collection without making a lot of changes. Also, they are much easier to sell ( if and when that happens )
The cost to re-holder is only $ 5.00 per coin.

I wouldn't be quick to get them reholdered. First generation holders often bring higher bids (whether it's justified or not).

I have often thought that an elegant answer would be for PCGS (or someone) to manufacture the two-piece collars like PCGS used to bring the second generation holders (small slab, non-rattler) to full size. I know I would buy several for a buck or two apiece..........Bruce

I just trimmed a couple of pieces of styrofoam the length of the slab and inserted them with the slab into the PCGS box. I only have a couple of the old rattlers so this works just fine for me.
