Would you reholder a coin currently in an old rattler?

ER

I'm talking about reholdering, not cracking out or regrading or crossing-over. Why or why not?

coinguy1

No. It could get damaged and/or be exposed to contamination and/or lost in the mail,, if shipped. It will also lose its older holder, rose colored glasses attraction (or "OHRCGA" for short).

PS: And another thing - NO!

Russ

Yes, I would. I hate the rattler holders. They're cheesy and ugly.

Liberate it from that West Coast plastic.

<< <i>They're cheesy and ugly >>

Just like those Kennedy's you admire so much. Russ, where's your sense of consistency?

MrKelso

No

DaveG

I don't, but I hope everyone does, so that the collectible value of the Rattler holders will increase!

Russ

My feelings are hurt.

I don't like the old rattlers.

The size of the holder is just a pain.

I have only owned 4 and had them all reholdered. I didn't submit them just for reholdering, so 2 of them actually upgraded. Worth the trouble to me.

Lot's of folks seem to seek these holders out. I try to avoid them unless the coin is 'special'.

no

if it aint broke dont fix it

jdimmick

No,
I would not!

I have two key-date quarters in the early green, not rattler, but the next gen after. Both will upgrade easily if submitted, but I leave them intact in the holders there currently in. One for the reason stated above and the mystique/suspense that surrounds those OGH holdered coins. When they go to auction one day, they will be regarde as fresh!! coins.''

Why just go and give CU money and waste time and money mailing for that? Makes no sense to me whatsoever.

Myqqy

Hell no- old holder mystique is definately a bonus- and I like the antique feel of the old holders.....

The OGH holders aren't cheesy and ugly like the rattlers.

I can see doing it. An old rattler doesn't fit in a PCGS box well. It probably is scratched. The coin is probably rotated in relation to the holder. It might look out of place if the rest of the set is in nice, clear, newer holders. Yup, I can see doing it.

Personally I probably wouldn't do it unless I was trying for an upgrade or it was part of a small set I wanted to display in a nice wooden display case.

Coinguy is just afraid it will come back with no scratches!

Barry

No. Why would you consider it?

Russ

<< <i>Why would you consider it? >>



Because the holders are cheesy and ugly.

No...especially if the coin is nice for the grade. And the more valuable the coin is, the better to leave it alone.

I already regret resubmitting the first gen and ogh holders than I did have. A sure upgrade is one thing, but anything else should sit tight.

Go for it !

RYK

I have in the past, but do not plan to do so in the future and am currently holding one rattler.

I do agree with, Russ, however. The rattler holder looks cheesy, does not fit into boxes or stack with other coins well, etc.

MORGANHUNTER2

Hell yes I would- if not for the pretty blu paper, then definitely for the upgrade potential.

I got's a bunch of the 2nd gen OGH's.

OKbustchaser

I would definately crack it out of the rattler...

























I just wouldn't bother to send it in for new clothes afterward.

coinbuf

No, I like those cheesy and ugly holders; just click on my signature set and you'll see.

Chris

AZLARRY

No.

Chris: I like your signature set.

topstuf

YES !!!! It is probably undergraded by 2 points at least.

I still have ONE and will have it re done prior to selling it.

I....learned ..... my lesson on that seated dollar.

Ignorance + Trust = Feces

majorbigtime

Leave it alone--worth more in 1st gen holder!

mozin

Yes, I would definitely reholder the coin, in fact, I have reholdered all my PCGS rattlers.

AceK

Depends on what you plan to do with it.

If you intend to keep it, and like many who have previously responded, you don't like the aesthetics, by all means, reholder.

If think you might sell it, but consider it properly graded, leave it in the rattler - there're lots of people out there who buy the "OGH guaranteed upgrade" theory and will pay a premium for it, regardless of whether it truly deserves a higher grade.

PerryHall

I like the older holders since they are a part of numismatic history. Every year more and more of these holders are destroyed and they are becoming rare.

BigMoose

I like the old "rattler" holders. I think they have a type of charm or mystique about them. Plus, they will only get rarer with time as more and more are lost to upgrade attempts. The real key is finding rattlers that have really nice coins in them. Many buyers semm to go "mental" when they see a nice coin in an old PCGS rattler holder and I think these will be worth much more down the line.

Only if I had enough of them to make the shipment worthwhile. I don't like the "rattlers" and never did. The "rose colored glasses" factor is likely to fade as more and more collectors realize that most of the good ones have already been reholdered and all that remain are ordinary examples.

IRCWCoins

No. If I buy a rattler that will upgrade, I will crack it out and resubmit it. If I get one that will not upgrade, I will not waste my time sending it to PCGS and waiting eons to get it back.
