Yep, the old slabs didn't hold the coin tightly in place. Like banddean said, shake the holder and the coin will rattle. I don't have any PCGS rattlers, but I have an ANACS rattler.

Some real nice coins! Love that 1879 Three Cent proof! Gold is always nice to have too. These are all the ones I have.

Coin all those coins look like they'd upgrade by 1 or 2 points by today's standards. The one that wouldn't upgrade would be the 1901 O.

I've resubmitted 2 of them at no charge to ANACS. Most of them actually don't upgrade.

OK, I'm a newbie - where's the term "rattler" come from?

The coin rattles in the slab when it is moved because they aren't held tightly.

I think it's pretty clear from most of these coins that the bar has been lowered.
