What the heck are Rattlers and no line NGC Fatties. Please educate me.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

    They are older holders from when the grading companies were more conservative. Here is a NGC no-line fatty. There is no barcode on it, and no line seperating the label from the coin.

    The rattler is the first gen, small holder. Called a rattler because often the coin was not seated tightly and "rattled". I think that there was nointernal plastic ring securing the coin.

    Thank you both for the insight. Knowing the vanacular is important as well image

    Photo added. Yes, learning the vernacular is important. For a long time I called the holders photographed above OGH - the OGH is different:

    << <i>They are older holders from when the grading companies were more conservative. >>




    May I just point out that a more accurate way to state the above would be to say, "...when the grading companies are widely-held to have been more conservative"? Not every older slab is a lock-upgrade. Some are under-graded by modern standards, some are over-graded, some are correctly-graded, but they're not all lock-upgrades. Now whether the proportions of those categories were different then than today is a matter of opinion.

    Just a thought image

    Well, we do have a big snake on the Forum.

    It's an Anaconda. However, he is a pretty nice

    snake for all that.

    I do, but it's no longer my coin - and now resides in a PCGS 64 holder image

    A nice, clean transaction with a great board member, who shall go unnamed unless he gives me his permission.

    Hmmm. I'm surprised nopbody brought up Conder's thread on PCGS Slab History!

    Everything you needed to know about PCGS Slabs but were afraid to ask!
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    I don't know about all my constituents, but I really think this coin is undergraded.
  • jhdflajhdfla Posts: 3,030 ✭✭✭
    Here's an even older NGC holder with the gold embossed reverse... by the way, I think this half is seriously undergraded.

    NGC Fatty Soap Bar Holder without Bar Code, NGC also at this time assumed all Type One SLQ's where FH's... and didn't add the FH designation.

    It should also be noted that the old PCGS rattlers had small plastic tabs that held the coins in place as can be seen in the photos. The tabs did not hold the coins in place all that tight so they "rattled".
