I came across this today in my perusing of eBay auctions. Is this coin in a legitimate PCGS holder? The cert number matches the PCGS system, but I don't see PCGS any where on the holder. I realize they've been through several incarnations through the last 20 years, but I was hoping someone here could verify whether this is a PCGS holder. Thanks

    Thats one of PCGS's original slabs, commonly referred to as a Rattler.

    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.

    Yes, a rattler. And a pretty coin too!

    It looks like a PCGS rattler 1st generation holder. I do think the auction violates eBay policy, because it doesn't show both sides of the slab...someone correct me if I'm wrong!

    Thanks guys!

    Also, I'm wondering why that isn't designated RD. Could be something wrong with the lighting, or perhaps stricter standards when it was slabbed.

    I'm thinking the reverse is what limits it to RB. Nice coin though.
