H. D. Redford (1898-1974) 的钱币相册
Hoard coins: The 1898 was released in large quantities by the Treasury Department through the Federal Reserve, so that by the mid-1950s Mint State coins were very common in eastern banks. However, before that time Uncirculated coins were scarce, or even rare. Additional large quantities were released in the late 1950s and early 1960s. By the mid-1970s, most such quantities had been widely dispersed, with the result that the Redfield estate holding, estimated to have been about 16 to 18 bags, was a novelty at the time. Most of these Redfield coins went to John Kamin, publisher of The Forecaster newsletter.
Hoard coins: If you had been a collector of Uncirculated Morgan dollars in September 1962, high on your want list would have been the 1898-O, along with the 1903-O, and 1904-O. These three were the most formidable rarities among Mint State New Orleans dollars, and even the most in-depth dealer's stock was not likely to have an example of anyone of the three. If you could have found one, it would have set you back $300 to $400 or more. The current Guide Book listed the value at $300, or double the price of the 1889-CC. A bag of 1,000 coins, if such existed, would have had a theoretical market value of over $300,000! But, not to worry. None was to be had, although a few bags had come out of storage in the Treasury Building in Washington, D.C. in the 1940s and early 1950s and, except for a few hundred pieces that went into dealers' stocks, the coins had slipped into circulation.
