Description
(2) 1897-S $1 MS64 NGC (MS65 Paramount); and an 1897-S MS63 NGC (MS65 Paramount). Ex: Redfield Collection. A grouping of two near-Gem 1897-S dollars and one Select Uncirculated example, each from the Redfield Hoard in their original Paramount holders. The maroon-red inserts indicate a grade of MS65, but that was back in the days before PCGS and NGC so the coins have been recertified by NGC according to current grading practices. This is an attractive group. All of the coins have full strikes (or very nearly so) and minimal abrasions for the grades. A small amount of rim toning is the result of 35+ years in the Paramount holders, but the coins display essentially brilliant surfaces with silver-white centers. A lot of three above-average 1897-S dollars with the Redfield pedigree.From the Collection of Donald E. Bently, sold for the benefit of the Bently Foundation.(Registry values: P4, N208)
