<p>[QUOTE=&quot;libertylover, post: 1145001, member: 30183&quot;]Liberty Dollars are VERY collectible.&nbsp; Unusual World Coins by Colin Bruce is the best printed resource for collectors.&nbsp; Liberty Dollars have been listed in the two latest editions.&nbsp; There are several pages of the different varieties (all gold, silver or platinum).&nbsp; Prices are not up to date, but that is to be expected with the government interference they have been experiencing. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ron Goodger&#039;s website, Liberty Dollar Encyclopedia, is a better resource.&nbsp; It does not attempt to supply pricing info.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Production has been low since the raid and later stopped altogether.&nbsp; Pricing is all over the map on ebay.&nbsp; The common pieces can be had for a few dollars over spot but rare ones are very expensive. One ounce, 1998&nbsp; silver will cost you $500-$1000.&nbsp; That is not even the rarest.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>NORFED started in 1998, producing only a one ounce .999 silver medallion.&nbsp; 5 years later (2003) they began making fractionals also. Most fractionals are going for double spot price or more.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The NORFED acronym was dropped several years into production.&nbsp; Collectors like to identify all Liberty Dollars this way though, to keep them from being confused with &quot;walking libertys&quot;, &quot;seated libertys&quot; and other US coins.&nbsp; Search &quot;NORFED&quot; on ebay to find a selection of around 400 offerings.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I collect these myself.&nbsp; They are beautifully struck (double struck on polished planchets with polished dies), making them technically &quot;proofs&quot;.&nbsp; They were not marketed as proofs however, because they were intended to circulate.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The founder of the Liberty Dollar, Bernard von NotHaus, was convicted of counterfeiting two weeks ago, so no more Liberty Dollars will ever be made.</p><p>Check one out yourself.&nbsp; Does it look like any US money you ever saw ?&nbsp; It is way better !&nbsp; The jury must have been blind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
