Another from Liberia, to add to my 1/2 Cent and IGE's 2 Cents. Here's the 1 Cent.

I came across this one being sold on ebay for $179. However, it is a fantasy fake. The seller has been contacted.

IGE, that guy Lapa was a real scoundrel!

Quote:
These pieces were made in multiple metals in the 1970s in the United States, by the notorious coin dealer Frank A. Lapa (whose authorship of books on the hobby included updating one work on the coins of Ceylon while in prison after being convicted of murder).
