Has anyone ever seen a graded Redfield before?

The coin looks hideous, but I've never seen NGC do this before!

No, but it's almost the same as the GSAs.

I have seen NGC grade them like that. I think it buy the submiter's request. The
only Redfield I had NGC grade was removed and put in a regular holder with
Redfield Collection on the lable. It does make them look funky like the GSA
holders graded from NGC or PCGS.

There have been quite a few on Ebay for months.

I have seen them. I dont think they are to popular based on how far of the grades are from the Paramount grade.

Here's one. NGC graded it MS65 too.

Most all of these "red case" Redfield coins" were graded MS-65. Most of them were well short of MS-65, so this one is more honest at MS-62 although it too probably falls short of the stated grade.

Don't forget. these coins were holdered in an era when uncirculated coins got two grades, MS60 and MS65. With todays grading, the MS60's would equate roughly to MS60 to MS61, the MS65's would be anywhere from MS62 to MS66 or better, but the higher graded ones would have adjectives like "Gem BU" would be added or MS65+++ etc.

In other words, Paramount Redfield dollars are mostly graded as MS65's.

I have a couple of non-Paramount Redfield Dollars (as noted on the label) graded by NGC but I've never seen a slabbed red case before either (then again, Morgans aren't a series I follow).

NGC only recently announced the addition of the service. Like within the last 30 days. I think RCDB must have been browsing the doppelganger eBay.

No, MS-63 was also used at that time. The Mint State grades were not limited to MS-60 and 65. The grades MS-60, 63 and 65 had been used as word descriptions earlier. The terms were "Uncirculated," "Choice Uncirculated" and "Gem Uncirculated."

What's the difference in Paramount and non-Paramount Redfield Dollars? This isn't a series I follow.

Eagleguy · October 24, 2011 12:15AM

I probably should have written "non-Paramount holdered Redfield dollars". I simply have a couple of Morgans slabbed by NGC that note "Redfield Hoard" or something to that effect on the NGC label. Paramount holders are the red (or green, I believe) card-like holders shown in the photo above and the OP. Redfield coins are usually found in them.
