Norfed

Does anyone know where to find Norfed coins? All I can find is eBay and I generally don't like using eBay, I would rather buy my physical metal from a physical person.

  • You can buy them at a local bullion dealer or at a coin show in your area. I have seen them at coin shows in tha past and the dealers usually treat them as .999 generic silver rounds in that they will charge you .999 generic silver premium for them. Coin shows and local coin dealers are the only two places where I have seen these Norfed Liberty dollars being sold at .999 generic silver premiums. I also have seen a lot of them being sold on ebay but they are sold on ebay for IMO a fairly high premium.

    get 'em while you can, I believe sales of them are going to eventually be hard to find since the federalees determined them to be bad juju.

    The Feds determined that they look too much like "real dollars". The sad truth is that they look better than what passes for real dollars, and they are worth more as well.

    So did I,

    Popped in local shop and found one in the generic round box. The year is 2000 and the norfed logo is quite small on it.

    It's all about what the people want...

    They're a mildly interesting footnote in the late 20th century story of precious metals and fiat currency.

    But you will *probably* pay a high amount over their silver value for them, because they're kind of collector's items.

    And push comes to shove, they don't hold any greater silver value than an American silver eagle dollar or generic bullion 1 ounce coin. They're interesting, kinda cool, but if you're looking to buy silver, there are probably better options out there.

    I think there is a good collector base out there, especially since they were shut down. Long term holders may be greatly rewarded (or visited by the Secret Service).
