THE 1862 PIECE WAS THE LAST YEAR OF THE 1ST
OFFICIAL LIBERIAN COINAGE
(LIBERIAN OFFICIAL COINAGE 1847-1862)
THIS IS OFFICIAL LIBERIAN COINAGE, WHICH BECAME AN INDEPENDENT REPUBLIC IN JULY OF 1847 MODELED AFTER THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
THE LIBERIAN PIECES STRUCK BETWEEN 1863 & 1890 WERE PRIVATE STRIKINGS AND ARE LIBERIAN PATTERN PIECES, SOME ALSO RARE, ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGHER GRADES !!
OFFICIAL LIBERIAN COINAGE WAS RESUMED AGAIN IN 1896 WITH A MUCH DIFFERENT DESIGN MOTIF.
LIBERIA IS CONSIDERED A LOST COLONY OF AMERICA. THE UNITED STATES BEGAN TO HELP CREATE & FUND THE FOUNDING OF LIBERIA AS EARLY AS 1820.
IT WAS ESTABLISHED BY THE HEROIC EFFORTS OF AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS AND FREED BLACK SLAVES.
THE FIRST SHIP TO SET SAIL FOR THE FUTURE REPUBLIC WAS THE "
MAYFLOWER OF LIBERIA"
(
FORMERLY, THE ELIZABETH
). SHE SAILED FROM NEW YORK ON FEBRUARY 6TH 1820 WITH 86 SETTLERS ON BOARD.
A VERY PROUD AND DETERMINED GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS WHO WITHSTOOD THE SEVERE HARDSHIPS AND WARS THAT ENSUED TO ESTABLISH THE FIRST REPUBLIC ON THE AFRICAN CONTINENT.
LATTER PRESIDENT U.S. GRANT PERSONALLY ASSISTED IN THE DEFENSE OF THE NEW REPUBLIC BY SENDING AN AMERICAN WARSHIP TO ASSIST IN DEFENDING HER FROM ATTACKS.  AFTER MANY BATTLES THE LIBERIANS WERE SUCCESSFUL IN PRESERVING THEIR NEW REPUBLIC AND GAINED THEIR INDEPENDENCE DURING JULY OF 1847. THE LIBERIAN FLAG IS RED WHITE AND BLUE, WITH ONE VERY PROUD STAR,; MODELED AFTER THE U.S. OF AMERICA !!
IF THE BEST AND FINEST LIBERIAN 1862 2C PROOF PIECE AT BOTH NGC AND PCGS IS DESIRED, THIS IS IT !!!!
MANY MORE REALLY COOL & HISTORIC NUMISMATICS ARE JUST A CLICK AWAY...
