I also would like information about this type pf holder, including what person or company made it and when it was produced.
I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

Are they in business today and if not when did they go out of business? As fra as first generation holders go, any idea when they were produced. For the Peace Dollar I mentioned, it would be good to have an idea how long it sat in the holder.
I cracked it out and the coin now sits in my Type Set Album.
Even Redfield coins in original holders are worth more than the coin by itself.

the grade MS 65 printed on them in gold color. It has been awhile, but the fact that they are LaVere's coins they bring good historical money despite the fact that all went through a coin counter and got ziinged! Cool piece of numismatic history.
The Black holder specifically states REDFIELD, but without a grade....
Pardon the dark images.. These are all I have handy at the moment.... (These were scans I made a while back, and the coins are in a SDB)
"There are about 10 different Paramont holders
Paramount 1 Black holder, no grade, Redfield collection
Paramount 1a Same but no mention of Redfield (Listed for completeness but I don't believe it exists)
Paramount 2 Black holder, MS-60, Redfield collection
Paramount 2a Same but no mention of Redfield
Paramount 2b Same as 2a but grade in holder altered to 63 with blue label maker tape before sealing
Parmaount 3 Red holder, MS-65, Redfield collection
Paramount 3a Same but no mention of Redfield. Company name runs all the way across holder.
Paramount 3a.1 Same as 3a but company name end half inch from sides of holder. lighter red, finer graining
Paramount 3b Same as 3a but grade altered to 67 in the holder with red labelmaker tape before sealing
Paramount 4 Green holder, grade MS-65 Plus Redfield collection
Paramount 4a Same but no mention of Redfield.
If anyone knows of one other than these, or a 1a, I'd like to see it."

Lazarus Thread Warning.
Has anybody ever seen one of these Paramount (not Redfield) holders sealed with the grade inside altered to MS-63 or MS-67? I did not invent MS-63 and MS-67 until early 1979 when ANACS began grading, and I did not know that Paramount was still using their "slabs" that late.
How rare are the black inserts with no grade but just the notation "A silver dollar from the Redfield Collection?"

Lazarus was only resurrected once.....
It MUST say "Redfield" on the holder or it is not one from that hoard.

Yes, and I am not asking about a Redfield insert. I am asking about an altered Paramount insert.
@Wabbit2313 seems to know a lot about the holders. Maybe he can chime in
I have only seen the red holders... I knew there were black ones, but had not encountered them at shows... Cheers, RickO
