biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 07/18/2008 4:20 pm Wonder why they carted them in from Philly, when there were surely plenty in San Fran? They actually circulated out there. Report this Post to the Staff
1sikevo Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 07/18/2008 4:20 pm Interesting. That million silver dollars would be worth 15 times that amount today in melt value alone, not to mention that most of those Morgans were uncirculated. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/21/2008 12:06 pm It would have been difficult for an individual to do 40 or 50 years ago too. Ted Binion accumulated about 100,000 and LaVere Redfield had about 400,000 which are two of the largest private hoards ever accumulated. Report this Post to the Staff

Evidently, some group bought the Binion collection for 3 million and had the coins graded and sold them individually. The website below shows a list of coins still for sale. All the Carson City's must have been grabbed right away because there are none left. http://www.binioncollection.com/BinionCoins.htm Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/22/2008 08:45 am The Redfield Hoard was also purchased whole in the 70s for $7+ million by A-Mark/Paramount and then sold over the period of a few years. The coins were slabbed but since these were the pre-TPG days(and pre incremental MS grade days), they were placed in oversized slabs with cardboard inserts that were red for MS65 and black for MS60.
