Comment
Status of this coin is still disputed, Numista decided to list them among Liberia coinage until their status is resolved.Interesting fact
The Liberian 1890 Pattern Cent is considered a rare and unique coin, with only 20 specimens known to exist. It was designed by Charles E. Barber, who was also responsible for designing the US Barber dime, quarter, and half dollar. The coin features a depiction of Lady Liberty on the obverse and a wreath surrounding the denomination on the reverse. Its rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
