Carson City Hoard

[nevada36-migration]

I recently purchased an 1891 CC $1 in an NGC holder, no grade but indicated as circulated and identified as "Carson City Hoard". Is there published material regarding this hoard, or its pedigree, etc? Thanks.

Anybody able to help this gentleman?

I believe it is referring to the 1972 sale by the government of silver dollars.

 

Perhaps better known as the GSA sale?

The coin in question sounds like a Coin Vault special. NGC incapsulates the coin, but doesn't put a grade on it. Coin Vault does this for a lot of their coins. Sometimes they have BU or other generic grades put on the slab. The "hoard" doesn't equate to a particular person, like a Benson pedigree, so I don't believe you could find out who owned it previously or else I believe that NGC would have put it on the holder.

 

A GSA would be pedigreed as such by NGC and I applaud them for keeping the coins in their original holders!!

It may have something to do with the Fitzgerald club in Nevada. Many of the "hoard" coins are being sold in an upcoming Santa Clara Superior auction. Here's a link.

Sounds like a special done for the shop at home network. Do you possibly have a picture of the holder?

What about Redfield?

I believe Redfield died in 1974 and his coins (400K-600K) were auctioned off after this.
