THIS WAS A 9.7 MILLION STRIKE; NOT A RARITY OR A KEY. ALL MORGAN 62 AND BETTER '0' S HAVE ALWAYS BEEN OVERPRICED IF YOU LOOK AT THE PAST SALES. TIME WILL SHOW THAT TRUE COLLECTORS WILL BE RELUCTANT TO OVERPAY CERTAIN COINS ONCE THE MARKET STABILIZES. S MINTS WENT THROUGH THIS CYCLE AND HAVE NOW SETTLED WITH SANE PRICES. THE IMPETUS HAS BEEN WITH DEALERS OR HUSTLERS AFTER A QUICK BUCK, AND THEY ARE KILLING THE VERY VEHICLE THAT CREATED THEM.. I HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS MORGAN COLLECTOR FOR 70 YEARS AND I HAVE SEEN THIS CYCLE REPEATED OVER AND OVER WITH PARTICULAR STRIKES AND NO ONE EVER SEEMS TO GET THE MESSAGE..

Very interesting specialty set within the Morgan and Peace Dollar Series. There are also a VERY, VERY few gold pieces in Redfield Paramount slabs. A note of caution: Never believe anyone who tells you a coin in a Paramount INTL holder is always a Redfield. NOT TRUE! The rule is simple enough for anybody to understand: If it doesn't SAY Redfield, it ISN'T a Redfield. Paramount was one of the largest coin dealers/marketers in the country at that time. That's one of the reasons they were awarded the contract by A-Mark (which initially owned the entire hoard) to distribute the coins. At the same time, Paramount was selling their OWN inventory with identical slabs and grading marked on it. In fact, this service made Paramount one of the first grading services, if not the first, to offer sealed, slabbed, graded coins. However, it is important to note that they were NOT an independent third party grading service as we know them today, since they were grading their own inventory. Another interesting note: the black MS60 holdered coins almost always grade out ABOVE MS60 when submitted to NGC, so there was integrity and expertise involved. In contrast, few of the red Redfield holders can meet today's standard for their indicated grade of MS65.Read full review

The silver dollar is in great condition. It is genuine and was a great value. This coin actually looked better in person than in the pictures. Morgan silver dollars have a lot of history connected to them and almost one ounce of silver.
