Send this Redfield to PCGS or keep in holder.

Coin looks great in hand and is a 64 lock IMHO. Has the usual peach juice stains if I remember correctly from the story.
Redfield was quite a character back in the day!

    Leave it. If you want it slabbed, send it to NGC to get graded in the holder. JMO.

    Thats actuall a nice Redfield. I would keep it in the holder. The reverse looks prooflike. What the grade on the holder? 65?

    Redfield holder says Mint state 65.... I say 64 , PCGS would grade 64 IMHO
    oh yes the peach juice story, if I remember correctly, Mr. Redfield would drive
    an old beater PU truck to the bank cash checks and demand to be paid in $ilver dollars!
    Drive em' home and hide them in his cellar and stack peach sacks over them.
    Before he died he hid them further in the cellar and built a concrete block wall
    to conceal with a map for his children. After his death and final will a note emerged

    If it were me I would slab it but only because everything else is in slabs and that holder would not fit in.

    For you, keep it the way it is. image
  • Looks like a solid 4 to me.... It doesn't need to be in a PCGS slab to prove it, either. Why take away the cool pedigree???

    I say leave it as is!

    I like the old redfield holder, and see no reason to put it into a generic pcgs holder...
    My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable !
  • Leave it in the holder, I never hardly see them anymore. I would like to have a nice dollar in a Redfield holder.

    Leave it in the original holder.

    I would prefer the coin in the holder it is now in.

    Leave it.

  • I would leave it in the holder. The Paramount holders all say 65, but I have seen about 100 Redfield Morgans and they seem to mostly range 62-63. Redfield was hard on the coins he hoarded---he threw mint sacks of them down a chute in his home in Nevada. Your 64 is probably at the upper end of the range of the technical grades for Morgans from the Redfield hoard.

    If it were mine, I would leave it in the holder... history (provenance if you will) is important for coins of this type... Cheers, RickO

    well said!

    The holder it currently resides in only adds to it's numismatic value. I'd leave it as is.

    Keep it in the Redfield holder.
    When in doubt, don't.

    hey even if you crack it out, you can always attribute it later, thanks to that big fingerprint on the reverse. image

  • I'm waiting for HRH to come here and offer him MOON money for it.

    oh- leave it right where its at.

    that one looks the grade.

    Another vote for keep it in the Redfield holder. As far as I'm concerned, it's worth more that way.

    looks nicer than 64 to me.
  • LeeBoneLeeBone Posts: 4,505 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Dare I say leave it in the Redfield Holder? image
  • Leave it in the ORIGINAL holder...
  • StuartStuart Posts: 9,762 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I suggets that you keep it in the original peach juice infested Paramount Redfield plastic holder, for historic purposes.
