History

During the Great Depression, LaVere Redfield, a successful investor, grew weary of the countrys financial system. When FDR removed the gold standard in 1933, Redfield began to hoard silver dollars. In 1935 he moved to Reno, Nevada for tax purposes and continued to amass his fortune. By the time he died in 1974, a whopping 400,000 silver dollars were discovered in a secret compartment in his basement.
