Paramount Redfield Collection slabs for Morgans...?

Anyone own one of those and do they have a slight premium? They used to come with a grade, I've seen a few of them. A lot of those coins look like roadkill, unlike most GSA slabbed coins which usually are a minimum of MS60 after being graded. Just wondered if the historical significance added any value?

they do have a premium (redfield hoard) and they can and are graded in the redfield red holders graded by both ngc and pcgs.. how much premium.... 50-100% over list is not uncommon.. depends on the coin, below is a fairly common 80-s asking 400
Note: many redfield slabs are not graded.. these are usually detailed or lower grade examples

LOL..........that is the exact one that got my attention. The EXACT one. But it's been regraded by NGC so it's a unicorn. I can see that bringing a premium but not one "graded" by Paramount. Good eye.

 

I've been after one for a while now.. most MS ones that I have seen hit 300 easy I've got a redfield Morgan.. but not in the paramount holder/slab and I want one lol

 

They have premiums (often well over guide). The ones graded by NGC and the "raw" ones that don't have the NGC grading both sell for over typical prices.

 

They command s premium because of the Redfield name.

 

I am not a Morgan Dollar person, so I'm probably not the right person to ask, but here goes.

I am not a Redfield dollar fan. Redfield was a rich eccentric who filled his basement with something like 400,000 silver dollars. The hoard came to light and was marketed in the 1970s. When they were graded in the Redfield holders, which I have seen with red and black backgrounds, they were often called “MS-65” which they were not. I have read that some of the coins were run through a coin counter, which would not have improved their state of preservation.

If I wanted to collect Morgan Dollars, I would not pay a premium for the Redfield pieces. It’s an interesting story, but not worth a premium IMO.
