Yes that is the worst Redfield I have ever seen.
Wow, thats...interesting. Peach crate toning?
I read that Redfield stored many cans of peaches with his hoard of silver dollars and that some of the cans of peaches exploded and the juice got on many of the silver dollars.

Couldnt remember if it was crates or cans, either way peach juice toning. Ive had a dozen or so awful Redfields with this look. Was very tempted to crack and conserve, but left that for the next guy.
Yep, that's just not nice.
I have something in my fridge in a Tupperware container that has that same look to it.
Do I dare open it and see if it's a silver dollar?
Likely oxidized.
Yup, butt ugly for sure.

It is just weird enough that I do not dislike it. The reverse is not too bad either.

It's certainly a good conversation piece when you're with fellow coin collectors.

Tried something. Eerie...
Someone kept their Redfields in a flooded basement.
I love and own many Redfield's. That is Nasty. Even a Father could not love that thing!
Please confess now to how much of a toning premium you had to pay........
OINK
There should be a government warning label on that holder.
I feel like you could get botulism if you were to crack that one out.
Oddly enough, the toning wasn't stated as one of the attributes of the coin.
That is one nasty looking coin..... Good luck with that one Bob.... Cheers, RickO
Somebody here at one time was buying ugly coins.
Might of been braddick if I remember correctly.
I once worked in a canning factory in Wisconsin, and one week my assignment with another guy was to climb all over the stacked pallets in the warehouse to look for "bloats". Indeed, there were several incidents of exploded warehouse cans during that summer.
I knew it would happen.
Redfield stored his 400 bags of silver dollars (1000 coins per bag) in the basement of his house...the story goes that some of his wife's canned peaches exploded and spilled on some of the coins...this looks like one of them!!!
Yikes, OMG !!!
Bummer. I thought you were referring to a scope.
Yep, not pretty but still a Redfield
