All known and one undocumented variety of these to be found in the Moneta Gallery under Africa > Liberia. This is where KM lists them, arguably they should be listed under USA. Low and Rulau have listed them in their books on 'Hard Times Tokens' (they were used as such and are early issues for that use). Some believe these were struck by the US Mint rather than by the Gibbs firm in Belleville NJ. Study of these interesting tokens is still on-going. See Library for addition information.
