I hadn't posted this before because the back of the case is cracked so I apologize for that. What are your thoughts on grade for this Redfield hoard 87 s? Are what I believe to be roller marks (as I have seen them on other graded 87 s's) prominent enough to details the coin? And lastly should I leave in this case or bust it out and recase?     |

63. Looks like it's in a Redfield 64 holder.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

That's right, the red Paramount holders were marked MS65. Been a while since I have seen one. Remember when they were all over ebay but seem to be seen less often these days. I would leave it in the holder. These seem popular these days and the crack is in the reverse. These are so popular that fake Paramount holders have started to pop up.

Thanks Eric, I was thinking it could if the marks were deep enough.

I would also leave it in the holder. There is a difference in value between standard Paramount and Redfield holders, with the latter being more desirable.

typical average strike for the year. probably improperly stored for a while with the blotchy toning lowering the eye appeal a tad. I'm not familiar with the different looks of roller marks so I'm not sure what caused it. it does have the appearance of one though due to its length. you would not see that if it was a reeding hit. reverse luster subdued. i'd put her at MS63 and leave it in the holder
