No, he probably did not have a bag of them. From what I understand he had over 450,000 silver dollars in his basement. They were mixed dates. I also understood that some duffus ran them through a counting machine when they were first discovered. That put marks on many of them. When Paramount Coin marketed these pieces they put them in red (sometimes back) "slabs" and marked most if not all of them "MS-65." Most of them fell well short of that grade even by the less strict standards of the day.
This piece is an exception by the looks of it. Nice coin!
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
"The Redfield estate had most or all of a mint bag, nearly all of which coins were severely bagmarked, and many of which had been damaged by a coin counting machine."
This puppy escaped that fate! I forgot to post the slab showing it is Redfield. Thanks for the comments!

Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
Very nice coin for a key date type set!
Morgan dollars in quantity, in descending order from the largest quantity: 1881-S (largest number of anyone issue in the hoard), 1880-S, 1879-S, 1878-S, 1882-S, 1896, 1898, 1897, 1897-S, 1890-S.
This next group, in date order, appeared in the Redfield hoard in quantities from nearly 10 bags down to fractions of a bag each: 1883-S, 1886-S, 1887-S, 1888-S, 1889 Gust a few, apparently), 1889- S, 1890, 1890-CC, 1891 Gust a few), 1891-S, 1892-CC, 1893-CC, 1896-S, 1898-S, 1899-S, 1900-S, 1902- S, 1903, and 1921-S Gust a few).
John Highfill gave a separate list of these Morgan dollar issues, each of which was in very small quanti-ties, 1885-CC, 1891-CC, 1892, 1893, 1895-S, and 1879-CC (the smallest quantity of all).
The Peace dollar holdings in large quantity in the Redfield estate were as follows: 1922-S (most plentiful of all), 1923-S, 1926-S, and 1935-S.
Then came smaller quantities of these Peace dollars: 1928-S, 1927-S, 1925-S, and 1924-S (fewest of any Peace dollar issue).
Well it's up on eBay, should be interesting to watch! Here.
