My old holder collection
PCGS Gen 1.2 Green Label Rattler Holder

Owner Comments:

As I noted in the Gen 1 rattler holder comments, in Conder101's book he lumped all the rattler styles into one as generation 1 holders. This was because the labels are almost identical with just a minor difference in placement of the information lines, fonts, and printer styles. And because Conder is colorblind, so he did not notice the change between the white and green label color. For the purposes of completeness, I have broken out the different rattler styles following the order provided by PCGS.

This is the most commonly found of the rattler holder style and can still be found easily today, reportedly used from Feb 1986 thru Sept 1989 by Conder101.

The cornerstone of my Lincoln date/mm set, and one of my all-time favorite coins. I purchased this coin from a local coin shop's bid board, I image that many readers will not even know what a bid board was, lol. For those who do not know, a bid board is a cork board that a dealer would place on a wall of his shop. He would place as many coins as he liked on that board each week, the patrons would stop by and place bids on the coins that they were interested in buying. Essentially an early version of the internet auctions that we have today. At the end of the week the person with the highest bid was the winner.
