puman Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 02/25/2008 2:02 pm Friday I found a $5.00 Republic of Liberia coin w/ Thomas Jefferson on the obverse in a roll of halves. Today, William H. Taft. Both are year 2000. I've seen others for sale depicting other US Presidents. The coins are very close in size to US Halves (they fit in the 0.50 wrappers) and the reverse is strikingly similar. I haven't found much meaningful info on these coins except that they may be being produced by the SF mint (they bear an "S" mintmark). Is anyone else out there finding these? What do you know about them? Report this Post to the Staff

snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 02/26/2008 2:20 pm The vast majority of coins that Liberia mints are for collectors. How else could you explain this: http://cgi.ebay.com/LIBERIA-2004-PR...IN_W0QQitemZ 120201043924QQihZ002QQcategoryZ533QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem quote: ...they may be being produced by the SF mint... Liberia does use the San Fransisco Mint to make some of their coins. quote: Good way to short a roll, use "cheap" foreign coins to fill it out. Actually, The Standard Catalog of World Coins lists this coin at $6.00 in UNC. While it doesn't list mintage numbers, I'd be surprised if more than 50,000 were made. The actual number could very easily be below 10,000 Report this Post to the Staff
