Is there a rundown of Dates that were slabbed in the Red Paramount Holders?

If one somehow happened to endeavor to gather a total assortment of Redfield Morgan and Peace Dollars in the red Paramount chunks, what dates are required? Here is a model:

I can't observe any information source on the 'net that rundowns the dates. You can do an inquiry on ebay to see the undeniable dates (for example 79-S, 80-S, 81-S, 82-S, 90-S, 91-S, 96-P, 97-P, and so on), however there are various scant dates (for example 92-CC, 93-CC) and Peace Dollars that were slabbed by Paraount also.

I figure it would be truly a test to finish an assortment of these - - maybe it has been done, however I am not mindful of anybody who has made it happen.

    @zanewiller.... Welcome aboard. I do not have an answer for you, however, the Paramount holdered coins have been discussed here from time to time. You could do a search, and likely other members will be along soon with information. Cheers, RickO

    It is important to note for new collectors that not all Paramount holders are Redfield coins. The ones that are are actually stamped Redfield. I have had many collectors come to sell me their "Redfield" dollars only to disappoint them by showing them a real Redfield.

    And the Redfield hoard went to more than just Paramount too. I've seen a Blanchard holder with a red "Redfield" on the label. PCGS and NCG handle them differently and have done different things over time.

    The hoard was acquired for $7.3 million in 1976 by Steve Markoff of A-Mark Coin Corp. Markoff chose Paramount International Coin Corp. as a primary distributor of coins from the hoard.

    The Highfill book states that there was no complete list of Redfield published. But provides this list from advertisements. (# very limited quantities)

    Book states the smallest quantities were (in ascending order)

    Not sure why the ones above noted as (# very limited quantities) are not on the smallest quantities list. Perhaps they are below the smallest quantities?

    Book also states the largest quantities were (in descending order)
