Description

The listing, $1 American Liberty Currency has ended.

HELLOOO Listia! So I got a good one for you this time. This is a $1 American Liberty Currency bill. Its for 1/10 of an once of 999 silver. With a $10 Base. Happy Bidding!

OK here is the big story on this:

The Liberty Dollar (ALD) was a private currency produced in the United States. The currency was issued in minted metal rounds similar to coins, gold and silver certificates and electronic currency (eLD). ALD certificates are "warehouse receipts" for real gold and silver owned by the bearer, ALD certificate holders according to court documents are about 250,000 people.[1] The metal was warehoused at Sunshine Minting in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, prior to a November 2007 raid by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Secret Service.[2] Until July 2009, the Liberty Dollar was distributed by Liberty Services (formerly known as NORFED), based in Evansville, Indiana. It was created by Bernard von NotHaus, the co-founder of the Royal Hawaiian Mint Company.[3] In May 2009, von NotHaus and others were charged with federal crimes in connection with the Liberty Dollar and, on July 31, 2009, von NotHaus announced that he had closed the Liberty Dollar operation, pending resolution of the criminal charges.[4] On March 18, 2011, von NotHaus was found guilty on various counts, including the making of counterfeit coins

No. The company is completely shut down and wasn't part of the US mint so their only worth is collectible. I have seen some go for $40 and others go for $15. It really depends how much people want it.

On the back of the item it even states that it is a warehouse receipt.

Thanks Deb, Glad you like the history. Originally when I got it I thought I was actually buying a piece with silver value but luckily I didn't pay for my ignorance. Good luck everyone!

this is, indeed, awesome! ignore all the dumb comments. my only concern is the Feds declared norfed's stuff to be counterfeits. do you think they will crack down on people who possess these as collector's items?

Oct 20th, 2011 at 7:48:37 AM PDT by

As long as there is no actual $ value to them, there is no reason for the Feds to come knocking on your door. Same thing with waffle coins. They are cancelled coins & because they have been destroyed the Government doesn't care if Numistic collectors want to trade them or even sell them.
