I have a Redfield Morgan thats in a clear plastic case with a white inside holder. The outside label has "Redfield Collection, Morgan Dollar" in gold letters. On the back of the holder it is stamped "AMark." Is this a real Redfield? Thank you for your response.
First of all, welcome to Coin Talk. You have come to the right place for answers. Although it sounds like you have a Redfield Morgan, pictures are always best to answer these types of questions. I by no means consider myself an expert on Redfield Morgans, but I have seen my share of them to know one in the case if I saw it. There are other memebers on here that are much more qualified to answer this question also. I also recommend that you do a search on here first as you will most defiinitely find at least one thread on Redfield Morgans. Good luck and hope to see some pics.
I'm attaching a picture for your review. I'm told that AMark was a company owned by Paramount that bought all the Redfield silver dollars and that Paramount used several different type holders to sell off the coins - this being one of them. The holder appears to be made several years ago. Thank you!
I have never seen this type of holder for a Redfield Morgan.....not to say that this isn't a Redfield Morgan, but I have never seen this type. Hopefully someone who has seen this type will hop on here and throw in their two cents.
I'm with Jacer. I've never seen a Redfield holder like that one, they are usually in a red case, like these: redfield morgan
According to Conder's book on slabs, there are 11 different Redfield slabs. Mostly they are variations of black or red inserts. But there is one which he does not picture. But the description could apply to the OP's post. Problem is, I can only see 1 side the OP's slab in his pics. The other side just brings up the red X.
I'm fairly sure i know what it is. Out of curiosity can I see the back side of the slab? What this is is part of a privately issues "set" of dollars from famous hoards. They were sold by some telemarketer and were originalyy in a wooden box with either three of five openings in it for these capital plastics holders. The set included a dollar from the Redfield, GSA, and Continental Bank hoards and there may have been two others. Of course since this set was not marketed by any of the firms that actually handled the sale of those hoards, there is no way to know if the coins really came from the hoards or not.
Sorry for the delay -- My camera will not open the shutter and I've tried to "fix" it to no avail - guess it's time for a new one.. The back is clear and the inside holder of the coin is white hard plastic and the coin moves around like the old rattler holders of PCGS. The case is about the same size as the small Anacs holders. The coin has even light gold toning around the obv & rev rims. Hope this helps in solving this case - thank you - LarryB.
