RARE! Extremely limited issue. The issue that worried the Federal Reserve! |
||
Liberty Dollars were the brainchild of Bernard von NotHaus, who felt that the the US currency was being devalued by the Federal Reserve's issuance of money that was not backed by gold or silver. He thus created his own "currency", the Liberty Dollar and proceeded to issue it through NORFED. However, the Federal Reserve pounced. Von Nothaus was subsequently convicted of several offences. More importantly, the FR announced in August 2011 that ALL Liberty Dollars are subject to confiscation and tasked the US Secret Service with the task of finding and confiscating them. Who says that the days of precious metal confiscation are over! Be warned! This coin is one that was not impounded by the FR and is a relatively rare item. Of course, it would be illegal to import into the USA.
It remains a symbol of disenchantment with US fiat currency, contains a quarter of an ounce of 999 silver and was issued in 2006. |
