Liberia Cent and Half Cent 1937 to 1941
Some people do not give us very much to go on when they describe a coin. 'It's round and says In God We Trust.' That is not enough information. With Samantha, we get -tons- of information. Thanks!
The modern country of Liberia, Africa's first republic, was settled in 1822 by the American Colonization Society as a homeland for American freed slaves. The US government furnished funds for procurement of the land from native chiefs.
Samantha's half cent is a modern coin and is quite common. Circulated examples are worth a few cents, and collectors might pay a US dollar or two to add an uncirculated specimen to their collections.
One cent Liberian coins with the same dates and pattern are more rare. They are worth about $1 circulated, and up to $10 uncirculated. The 1941 dated cent is more valuable than other dates. It catalogs at $40 in fully uncirculated condition.
