The story behind Norfed Liberty Dollar….

Afternoon everyone…..

The (Norfed)Liberty Dollars were produced by a now-defunct organization with the unwieldy name "National Organization for the Repeal of the Federal Reserve Act and the Internal Revenue Code," or NORFED for short. NORFED's goal, according its founder Bernard Von NotHaus, was to provide an alternative currency to that which is issued by the U.S. federal government: a currency that is backed by gold and silver, and therefore inflation-proof. NORFED has manufactured these coins in various denominations, including $1, $5, $10, and $20 in silver, and $500 in gold.

In May 2009, Von NotHaus was charged with federal crimes in connection to the production of Liberty Dollars. On March 18, 2011, he was found guilty of "making coins resembling and similar to United States coins." Although the United States Justice Department recommended a sentence of seventy-two years, she was only sentenced to six months of house arrest and three years probation. He was later released from his probation after serving only one year. Later on, a federal judge ruled that any Liberty Dollars seized by the United States government should be returned to their respective owners.

These rounds are highly collectible and certain ones are very hard to find.

I personally own three different varieties. Here is one that I will share.

The whole affair was just disgraceful! And to think a North Carolina jury convicted this man is a shame upon the entire State as well as a shame upon the Federal Prosecutor who had the nerve to bring it.

The War is real!
