What should I do about Redfield Dollars that aren't

Tiny

I all ways look at the Redfiled Collection Dollars on eBay and not a lot but
some times I come across a seller that says their coin is a Redfield but the
Paramount holder does not state it. Now it is to my understanding that if
it ain't on the holder then it ain't a Redfiled, Right? My question is should I
ask the seller nicely if they know what I and I think most of us here know or
should I just "never mind". I would never report a seller to eBay over
something like that but I feel they should know what they have and not
misrepresent the coin.

Thoughts Please

From this website:

"The Dollars were marketed by Paramount International Coin Corp. The holders were labeled MS60 and MS65. Some holders were labeled "A Silver Dollar from The Redfield Collection" and some were lableled "US Silver Dollar, Paramount International Coin Corp." without the reference to Redfield."

In addition, Heritage currently has one of the "US Silver Dollar, Paramount International Coin Corp. without the reference to Redfield" holdered dollars listed for auction, described as a Redfield dollar.

You might want to be sure what is and what ain't before proceeding further.

I don't know if this is true or not but I heard that paramount ran out of redfield holders during the slabbing process and had to use regular holders instead.

Only the Paramount holders which specifically state "Redfield Collection" are indeed Redfield dollars. Paramount holders which DO NOT state "Redfield Collection" are not Redfield dollars. For example, I have an 1878 8 Tail Feather Morgan in a Paramount holder which properly does NOT state Redfield Collection. This follows along Highfill's Encyclopedia, page 93+, where the dates and mint marks from the hoard are listed. 1878 is represented in the hoard only by dollars from the San Fransisco mint.
I understand that Paramount continued to utilize the "Redfield style" holders until the quantity left over from holdering the hoard was used up. I think herein lies the confusion.
