Is there any way to gag and silence rattlers?

Just packaged up a bunch of 1st gen PCGS rattlers for next day air and although bubble wrapped in safe-t-mailers the whole parcel still sounds like a la cucaracha maraka...

Is there any secret trick to silence them image

    I usually mark the outside of the shipping box: RATTLE OK!

    Doesn't help quelch the noise, but allays any fears the carrier may have that it contains damaged goods. I have actually heard of misguided USPS drones refusing to insure a package because it rattles.

    Crack them out and get a 1 point upgrade! (evil grin)

    Sure if it looks like a sure upgrade, but just because it is in a rattler doesn't mean it's undergraded.

    Most are graded correctly. image

    Just send them in for reholder.

    I love rattlers! I just wish they fit in a PCGS box.

    Most of the quarters I have in rattlers don't actually rattle. I wonder if it's a property of the coin or the holder.

    Which coins tend to rattle the most in the holder...least? Anyone tested this out?
