rattler type set so far :D

TAMU15

I started this set in August after I arrived at Texas A&M and boy has it been fun! I'm always scouring the bay which is where most of these have come from for rattlers and OGH's (even found a doily!). It has been alot of cheap fun just because you never know what your going to find out there. I am also proud to say that I have only paid a rattler premium on like of the coins (the 2.5 indian and the C/N Ike) look forward for more to come as I am always getting new ones. Enjoy! (sorry about the crappy iphone pics lol)

cool set, I love that 2.5 indian rattler!

I also didn't know you were at A&M, I just started grad work at UNT, so not terribly far, but still a 3-4 hour drive!

Will you be at the grapevine show in a couple weekends? I will be hanging out with Ponyexpress8. My sister goes to UNT actually she is a senior marketing major.

Nice set! Too bad about that green bean though. It kind of stands out

TAMU15

the green bean is just alone untill its brothers make a trip to the motherland to get their green beans as well

Kove

That's a good portion of the type set.

I've got a buddy building a rattler type set, and he says the Barber quarter and Barber half are very difficult to find in rattler holders.

Nice!

Nice. Man I love Rattlers.

Very cool set!

TAMU15

Thanks everyone! I plan on displaying it at a show once I get it a bit more complete. I think the hardest will be the barber half as those typically go for moon money in rattlers, same with the quarters. I dont think I will try to complete the gold but hell who knows. Would like to pick up a nice low grade seated key date but those are tough too.

Nice job!

DIMEMAN

Nice coins. But to each his own......if I have to buy a dime in a rattler it goes to PCGS to get reholdered.

Bochiman

Cool!

Tell ya what, find a Sacagwea golden dollar in an authentic rattler holder and I'll give you a super nice premium for it

what about the 'sample' rattlers?
that would be a nice subset.

TAMU15

Oh subsets... Once this gets a bit more wrapped up maybe a rattler set of proof roosies and a date set of mercs >

Broadstruck

Nice set!

Geez ........ and I thought my attempt at a gold type set in old green holders was a challenge!! Talk about adding a degree of difficulty!
Looking forward to seeing this set as it progresses.

unfortunately due to the semester ending I will be heading home to Illinois next week and won't be able to make the show
Let me know when you plan to make it to another show (somewhere between College Station and Denton; i.e. Dallas!) and I will see if I can work it into my schedule

steveben

Cool set of rattlers, interesting way to collect type coins.

TAMU15

All the cool kids are resurrecting old threads. Here’s one from almost 11 yrs ago.

I got the Const from one of the people who posted in this thread. He/she knows who they are! 👍And the SBA $1 came from ebay.

A clad Ike in a Rattler is rare.

I noticed this post was from 11-years ago and assumed @Cougar1978 had some free time during BBQ and brews!

How about one of the original 50 state quarters in a rattler!

Could happen with the fake slabs.

The_Dinosaur_Man

Never thought I'd see a modern commem in a rattler. That is really neat!
