Redfield Hoard information


1891 CC Morgan dollar from the Redfield Hoard slabbed in a red Paramount holder

The Redfield Hoard was LaVere Redfield's collection of 407,000 silver Morgan and Peace dollars. The hoard was discovered in Reno, Nevada, at the home of LaVere Redfield after his death in 1974.

Redfield was burglarized in 1952 and at that time he had already amassed a hoard of 270,000 silver dollars. He claimed that the authorities who investigated the burglary forced him to take the silver dollars to the bank at that time. His home was burglarized again in 1963 and newspapers in the 1980s reported that 100,000 silver dollars were taken, a figure which was disputed by Jack Harpster's book The curious life of Nevada's LaVere Redfield : The Silver Dollar King.

Redfield did not trust banks and paper money so he continued to collect silver dollars. He was dubbed the "Silver dollar king" after the discovery of the silver dollar hoard in 1974. From the mid 1960s to 1974 he hoarded more than 400,000 silver dollars. The entire hoard was sold to A-Mark Financial for US$7.3 million (equivalent to $39,087,018 in 2023).
