Owner Comments:
Liberia - 1941 1/2 cent - KM #10a - Mintage: 250,000
Minted by the Philadelphia mint for circulation in Liberia. These coins had been struck by the mint in Birmingham, England but during the war, the original Birmingham dies were sent to the Philadelphia mint for striking.
This design was struck in Half Cent, One Cent, and Two Cent denominations. The Half and Two Cent denominations must not have been received well because high grade samples of each are relatively easy to find. The one Cent coin however must have been quite popular because these are very difficult to obtain.
This particular coin is a very nice example of the half cent coin.
