1879-S Mint State Morgan Silver Dollars from the Redfield Collection Paramount. The coins show sharp detailed strike with beautiful toning on both sides and great eye appeal. The coin appears to have a grade much higher than MS-60. This coin was put n this slab in the late 1970 before PCGS,NGC OR ANACS started grading coin in the mid 1980's.
Morgan and Peace silver dollars from one particular hoard in the original holders usually command premiums: the Redfield/Paramount coins. These coins came from the 407,000-coin stash found behind a false wall in the basement of Reno, Nev., investor LaVere Redfield.
The hoard was acquired for $7.3 million in 1976 by Steve Markoff of A-Mark Coin Corp. Markoff chose Paramount International Coin Corp. as a primary distributor of coins from the hoard.
Paramount slabbed the coins in attractive plastic holders with red or black inserts in two grades, Mint State 65 and MS-60, the only two grades used at the time
