Liberty Dollar Update

[JamesVincent]

I still don't recall seeing a list of the "thousands of transactions" or a list of retailers who would accept it.

At 77 years of age, you would think that he might have learned at least something. At this point, however, I don't see that as happening. This link still shows the following:

3. Although prudence would seem to indicate that people would refuse a currency they've never seen, this is simply not the case. After thousands of transactions, the Liberty Dollar is readily accepted most of the time. It is meant to be circulated voluntarily as barter, accumulated and collected.

4. Simply offer The Liberty Dollar with the confidence that it will be accepted. After all, why wouldn't it? When you offer the American Express Card, if it is not accepted, they tell you. Likewise, if the store does not accept Liberty Dollars, the cashier will tell you and you can simply pay another way.

5. "Do the Drop!" The best way to introduce the Liberty Dollar is to drop the Silver Liberty in someone's hand. Do not hand it to the cashier, Drop it! Hold a one-ounce Silver Liberty a couple inches above the outreached palm and drop it so it lands flat in the person's palm.

6. Now the hardest part - don't say anything! Just wait. Let the person marvel at its beauty, weight, and discover it says TWENTY DOLLARS. When asked "Is it real?" Answer: "Yes, one ounce of silver PRIVATE currency valued at 20 dollars." Do not rush. Just stand there and wait, patiently. No need to smile. Just wait.

7. After 30 seconds, say, "I have US government legal tender money too [show the cashier FRN cash], but would prefer to pay with silver." If the cashier hands it back immediately, you may ask her to show the currency to the manager, or just pay some other way.

Isn't this what got him into trouble the first time around?

Pretty much. The minute he calls it "currency" he steps off the slippery slope to the sure and certain slide to jail time.

Blast from the past

[Pottapaug1938]

I November of 2018, a post-house fire burglary robbed me and my late wife of many things; and what hit me the worst was the loss of almost all of the coin collection which had taken me 59 years to build. I've chosen to rebuild the collection on a smaller scale, cthis time focusing on German and Swiss coins and going for quality over quantity.

I recently had the chance to buy two Liberty Dollar coins, the first of which contains a half ounce of .999 fine silver, the denomination of $10 (nothing about suggested value), and the date of 2005. The second is just like the first, except that the coin contains one ounce of .999 fine silver -- and the denomination of $10! I wonder how many of von Nuthouse's acolytes tried to use the smaller coins to paying a fellow Member of the Faithful for something, and expected the larger coin in payment when they were the sellers....
