Does anyone know what the "E" on Liberian coinage (when noted by NGC on their labels) stand for, i.e. 1889E or 1890E,
is it a mint mark denoting the place that it was minted, like the U.S. D for denver?

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks. image

    Liberia issued no coins in 1889 or 1890. They did, however, issue lots of patterns. I assume it's an indicator of it being a pattern coin (like, short for "essai" or something).

    Thanks Sapyx for the info its appreciated. I love those early Liberia patterns. I have been trying to locate info on their

    mint origin, die cutter, mintage info, etc. It seems to be an area that doesn't have a lot of easily obtainable history on.
