Ahhh, Dreck, at it's finest...

My two favorites in one nice neat package,
Silver Bicentennial in a rattler, yeah buddy...
All I need now is the quarter and half.

Crazy submitters...lol. cool coin
Cmon..........we all know one mans dreck is another mans gold.
...........and I don't like the word "Dreck".
I ain't that far up the ladder.

I like the coin and the holder.
You do too.
It's quite likely a scarce coin in a rattler.
Nice pickup.
Not dreck.
How is that Dreck exactly?
Me likey. Nice pickup!

I had hundreds of Rattler slabbed IKE's back in the day.
When they came out with the new style holder I sent them all in and had them reholdered.
Never liked the rattler,,,,,,, coin would never stay properly rotated.
But you could whack them on your hand enough times and spin it back around!
Not enough patience,,,,,,,
I like rattlers, I think of them as old school fidget spinners.
It is a coin... a nice coin.... and an old holder....I like it just as it is....Those calling it dreck are coin snobs...

I'm from New Yawk and @Laurie is from NJ. She doesn't know dreck from scheisse!
Discriminating numismatists with Yiddish-speaking grandparents would surely classify this example as a schlocky widget.
Of course, @Laurie's grandparents may have come from the next village, where the "wrong" version of Yiddish was (mis)-spoken. Note that @Laurie is not credited with adding "dreck" to the numismatic lexicon; however, this writer no longer italicizes the word, quite simply, because it doesn't end with a vowel.
I had a holed and plugged 1792 Half Disme a few years ago. The buyer and I agreed it was a rare piece of crap
.
Classicists like myself would consider the OP example as "stuff", but the rattler is "cool" and I concede my snobbery in not knowing if it is a pop-top
With a gold sticker it would be "cool stuff" to the snootiest.

The term "widget" does not have Yiddish roots and still bears further investigation.
Also, I agree with @ricko
If this does not clarify things for you, rethink your pronunciation of "disme"


Its not dreck BUT as we all know (and have signed the pledge): Even a turd smells like fine wine when its in a Rattler!
Your post made my brain a bit dizmee
"To Be Esteemed Be Useful" - 1792 Birch Cent --- "I personally think we developed language because of our deep need to complain." - Lily Tomlin
To be clear I love that example. Bicentennials have a special spot for me.
I was 11 in 1976, was a fun time, my Dad would save all the Bicentennial quarters he received for me.
Being in a rattler makes it all that much better.
Not Dreck, but fun...

One man's dreck is another man's widget...
I wouldn't be complaining if it belonged to me.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍
