<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1290795, member: 66&quot;]Yes that is a Paramount stock coin not a Redfield hoard coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I assume that article was published awhile back.&nbsp; There are some minor errors in it and some of the information is out of date.&nbsp; The PCGS and NGC slabs are not really that close in size to the Redfield holders.&nbsp; The blue-black holders were used for both ungraded and Mint State 60 graded coins.&nbsp; The green holders are marked Mint State 65+ not Mint State 70.&nbsp; NGC and ANACS do now offer slabbing for these coins still in the Redfield holders.&nbsp; (There are also black inserts that had their grades changed to 63, and red inserts that had their grades changed to 67 before the coins were sealed in them.&nbsp; The red insert comes in two different varieties.)&nbsp; In footnote three it mentions the red insert holders that Paramount used for their own stock coins, there are also blue-blackMS 60&nbsp; non-Redfield inserts as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>The section dealing with the auction gives the impression that it was a blind auction with none of the participants knowing precisely what was in the hoard.&nbsp; This is not true.&nbsp; A-Mark, the eventual winner, DID know what was in the hoard because they were the company that did the inventory for the estate.&nbsp; They were the only participant that did know.&nbsp; (Hardly a fair auction) </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I like the Paramount ad picture though that shows the box.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
