The Redfield Hoard

In 1974, authorities opened a quiet house in Reno and found more than 400,000 silver dollars hidden inside.

The owner? LaVere Redfield — a reclusive landlord who had spent decades quietly pulling silver out of banks and stacking it at home.

This episode explores how one man’s distrust created one of the largest private silver hoards in U.S. history — and why coins from that house still carry a premium today.

Because sometimes the real story isn’t the silver.

It’s why someone felt the need to hold it in the first place.
