<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2637457, member: 80121&quot;]Just like they did with the GSA Hoard of Morgan Dollars, the TPGs originally broke the Redfield Coins out of the Paramount holders and put them in their own holders. They noted on the label, as they did with the GSA coins that the coin was from the Redfield hoard. I have one of these coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve only seen two colors in a Redfield Paramount holder, Red which is labeled MS65 and Black which is labeled MS60. I think all they did in terms of grading was they divided the hoard into two piles, the ones that looked nicer got the MS65, the other pile got the MS60.</p><p><br /></p><p>These grades have nothing to do with todays TPGS grades, they predated the TPGS and they were just a way fro Paramount to distinguish between the &quot;eye appeal&quot; of the coins. They are collectable and are in demand, so they do carry a fairly high premium.</p><p>&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]581315[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this one because it didn&#039;t have the heavy bag marks associated with so many Redfield Coins and it had nice toning. The same with the one in the black holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]581318[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I also liked the minimal bag marks and slight toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>One word of caution, the Redfield Holders are not very sturdy and tend to crack. Store them carefully and check over carefully any you at considering buying. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have the Redfields, a few GSAs, quite few Binions, I like their history and the pamphlet that came with one I bought from a Dealer. There are other Morgan Hoards (for example the Wels Fargo Hoard) but the big three are the GSA, Binion, and Redfield. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]581320[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
