Redfield Dollar question

Rollerman

I'm putting together a display for our coin club show in early April dealiong with the two largest silver dollar hoards, the GSA sale and the Redfield hoard.

Does anyone have a photo of LaVere (and it is Lavere and not Lavern, right?) Redfield? I'd like to include one with the display if I can get one.

I'd like to have one as an attached file sent to my E-mail address or a CD of same if that's somehow easier. I'd need to know how much it would cost me also....if too much, I might have to resort to and "artists impression" .

Thanks for any information you might provide. I've already searched the board archives for info in case you might suggest that as an option.

I believe that the Redfield hoard is the third largest hoard not the second. I think the Continental Illinois bank hoard was over 600,000 coins. Almost 50% larger than the Redfield hoard.

I'll check and see what I can find for a picture. I know a couple of places I might find one. You might also try contacting Krause publications or Amos Press and see if they have pictures. I know they have done articles on th hoard in the past and they might have had pictures of him in the articles. I specificly seem to remember an article years ago in Coins magazine that had a picture of him.

The VAM book has an artist's rendering of him. PM me if you would like me to scan it and email it to you

Dorkgirl,
I'm the dorky one, I don't know how to ascertain your PM address from the board page. Can you send the picture of Mr. Redfield here as an attachment? I'd really appreciate it. Either that, or tell me how we can talk privately.
All the best, Rollerman Pete

Thanks Dork Girl (I like Becky better, that's my granddaughteres name) and Conder101, if you should find a photo of Mr. Redfield, I can always use more than one picture.
Thanks again!
Pete
