Man Who "Loved Silver Dollars"

"The Secret Silver dollar coin Hoard"

U.S. Government minted Silver Dollar coins

What happened to the Redfield silver dollars?

The Redfield silver dollars were sold

  Once the estate was settled and the silver dollars were auctioned to the highest bidder, the coins were catalogued and sold throughout the world.  A good number of the bags he had saved were "S" mint Morgan style silver dollars produced at the San Francisco United States Mint.  He also had some “CC” Carson City United States Mint dollars and even had some bags of the Peace style silver dollars. Most coins graded various degrees of mint un-circulated condition, although about 15% were said to be circulated.  To sell them, some coins were packaged in special holders with labels indicating they came from the Redfield hoard.  Others were put in tubes or individual holders.  Then they were sold by the roll or by the lot to various investors or dealers. 

So, where are they now?

  Where are the Redfield silver dollars coins now?  Although dispersed a quarter of a century ago, they might be anywhere today.  Occasionally, you will find a dollar in one of the special holders with Redfield’s name on it. However, over time most have been placed in individual holders or tubes that offer more protection during storage.  (Unless they are in a special holder of some type, you can’t tell them apart from other old US silver dollars.) 

  Imagine, today when you purchase a silver dollar, you might actually hold in your hand one of original silver dollars once owned by LaVere Redfield.
