Question
I have the whole set of 2000 Presidential five dollars coin authorize by Goverment of Liberia but minted here in the US mint with certificate of authneticity and registration. I need to know if is worth anything or just wasted my money

Answer
Lisa,

Sorry but you prettymuch wasted your money -- you cannot even redeem these in Liberia.

These PRIVATELY minted medals have no significant collector value -- perhaps a little novelty value.

There is currently a pile of 32 of these up for sale on eBay -- you can follow the auction to see what they sell for :

Expertise

My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.

Experience
