A rattler coin is a term related to coin collecting and certification. It often refers to a coin that has been slabbed or encapsulated by a grading service, specifically with a label or slab that can be read by the Rattler Scanner app. This app, designed for iPhone, utilizes machine vision to recognize coin identification numbers off coin slabs, facilitating the lookup of price guides or certification information.
