<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Neal, post: 26437479, member: 43872&quot;]My only Libera coins are more common moderns.&nbsp; This first is a 1937 half cent.&nbsp; Note the representation of Liberty, which does not look very African, has been replaced by an elephant.&nbsp; (Sorry for the poor picture quality.&nbsp; The contrast is not too great in hand, either.)[ATTACH=full]1686685[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1686686[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The other, 1972, is the same diameter but thinner coin but is now one cent.&nbsp; The reverse has been modified, with the sailing ship much larger and the legend changed.
