Holy crap - I love that coin
Nice Redfield!
The finest Redfield I've seen or heard of.

That is a sweet one. And really, one of the most attractive holders from the days before slabs (officially speaking.)
That is on heck of a Morgan. Absolutely gorgeous!

Beautiful example.

I mean, if you don’t want it, I guess I’ll take it.
Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.
Peachy!
I don't think I've ever seen a Redfield coin grade that high. Wow- nice.

For a Redfield dollar, that one is exceptional!! In fact it's exceptional for a 1900-S regardless of the holder.

Thanks. I also have a Redfield 66+ coin.
Impressive toning! On a better date to boot too. Wow!

OP - That is an absolutely gorgeous coin!

CAC does not sticker Redfield's in the original holder. I tried to talk John into it, but he would not budge!
What a stunner!
I certainly agree about the coin. But the rest of your post was over the top exaggeration that should have been beneath you.

Awesome coin!
Send in to me, I will sticker it, seriously drop dead gorgeous piece
Color for the (extra) point! Nice coin and those holders will come into vogue at some point, maybe 10 years maybe 50 but there will be a hot niche market for the additional degree of history someday

I agree with everyone that like this coin and slab. Beautiful.
That is one amazing Morgan. I haven't seen a Redfield that nice.
That will be quite an easy coin to sell when the time comes, gorgeous!

Wow!
That is among the most beautiful Morgans I have ever seen.
I love it and it’s not even a proof haha!
One question though- if Redfield got his silver dollars straight from the bank, and threw them down the coal chute, and then Paramount bought the hoard and put them in these red holders for sale, when where and how did this coin obtain its lovely blue album toning?
Um, flux capacitor. 😬😂
Thanks! From the canvas mint bags most likely. The Redfield cardboard inserts also continued or created some of the toning. If I had owned this from the 70's, I would be able to answer exactly which source it was!
Looks like Wayte Raymond album toning to me- perhaps Paramount had extra red holders left over and inserted some non-Redfield coins. Doesn’t really matter- beautiful coin I would be happy to own- the color just doesn’t make sense to me.
Jaw-dropper!!
LOVE the color and smooth surfaces on that one!
Better date in a historic slab with a premium grade!

Interesting- I’ve never owned one so I figured they were plastic of some kind
Nice coin and holder... got me wondering if ricko might budge off his love for blast white this one time.

The (gorgeous) toning on that coin is unlike that which I’ve seen on any other Redfield dollars, and I’ve seen quite a large quantity of them.

I do not like toned coins, but this one it is WOW. Look at the design. Do I will have one in my life time???!!!!

Honestly I couldn't give a crap that its a Redfield ie in a Redfield Holder, all I care about is the incredible eye appeal, condition and toning of this special piece is spectacular. I would expect to find such a great Morgan in an old ANACS or old NGC or old PCGS holder. But no matter what I would keep it in my collection for a lifetime, it's that special.
Used to belong to now banned member @Wabbit2313 iirc. Hell of a coin.

I saw this coin in your avatar on another thread and it caught my eye/
Thanks for posting the full size image, it is quite stunning and I agree with others, the degree of toning is unlike many of the other Redfield Dollars I've seen in the past... Great Coin.
What's the other 66+ you speak of and it is nearly as toned as this one?
It's all about what the people want...
That’s the nicest toned 1900-S I’ve ever seen. Amazing coin!
Beautiful. I think even Ricko would have liked it.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
The coin is magnificent and would look fantastic in any holder, but that vermillion color is a great contrast to the blue toning. Enjoy!
Often NGC gives nearly pl coins a star grade; in this case it is obviously due to the eye appeal.
Spectacular coin that anyone would be proud to include in their collection.
You have excellent taste in Morgan dollars.
