<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2645519, member: 1765&quot;]I hate rattlers.&nbsp; They&#039;re ugly and technologically far inferior to today&#039;s slabs.&nbsp; Most of the ones that are floating around at shows are not undergraded.&nbsp; They&#039;ve survived 30 years of people deciding whether or not to try for an upgrade, and have possibly been bounced from reconsideration by PCGS as well, perhaps due to grade, perhaps due to them wanting to call it RB instead of RD.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, when you&#039;re trying to sell originality of surfaces on copper, having it in a ratty rattler offers a lot of reassurance that the coin won&#039;t turn black in 3 months, as it has been in that holder for 3 decades.&nbsp; This is more important than perpetuating the undergraded myth.</p><p><br /></p><p>You say you paid $35 for the coin, which is closer to 63RD money than 64RD (or even 64RB).&nbsp; If you want to put an uncirculated 1925 cent in your album, I would sell this one and buy another.&nbsp; You should make money on it, and someone who wants the coin in that slab will be happy to buy it from you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
