Silver Certificates
NORFED silver certificates and proofs from Series A through G and later LDFA issues, plus Hawaii Dala warehouse receipt serial classes (PR, SP, and A) with photos from this collection.
The American Liberty Currency Silver Certificates were released in 1998 at the sme time as the silver specie. Known for their appealing design and award-winning advanced security features, these certificates served as legitimate warehouse receipts. Each certificate was backed by an equivalent value of silver at Sunshine Mint. They were redeemable in precious metals for up to 20 years from their stamped date.
This page focuses on NORFED's silver certificate and proof releases. It covers a long period with multiple entities owned by or associated with Bernard Von NotHaus. These include Liberty Dollar Financial Association (LDFA), NORFED, Liberty Services, Liberty Numismatics, and Shelter Systems. For additional information, please see the Gold Certificates, Dalas, and Special Certificate pages.
I've gathered extensive information and examples for this collection. If you have additional details or variants not shown here, please email a high-quality picture or scan to brian 'at' norfed 'dot' info and I will include it here and credit the source.
Series A Certificates
Series A Certificates were the first of the American Liberty currency. It was released in 1998 and came in $20 envelopes made up of a $10 note, a $5 note, and 5 sequential $1 notes. These packs can still be found, though I am seeing fewer listings over time.

Series E - 2005 - American Liberty Currency $10## Series F Certificates
The Series F Liberty Dollar certificates were introduced on April 21, 2006, and reflect a significant shift in the silver base value to $20 due to rising prices. All Series F certificates bear a 2006 date, aligning them with the new base value. F Series notes with a red stamp date of April 21, 2006, were distributed as part of the First Day of Issue (FDI) packs, including certificates of various denominations and a stamp-dated envelope. As you can see below, subsequent releases were stamped with a black date stamp and no stamp on the back of the envelope.

Series F - 2006 - American Liberty Currency $1## Series G Certificates
The Series G Liberty Dollar certificates are likely the last ones issued prior to the FBI raid on NORFED in November 2007. Dated 2006 on the front, this example is stamped March 2007 on the back and I have seen stamp dates as late as June 12th 2007. I have only seen $1 certificates from the G series, other denominations may have been printed and I will add any additional ones here if I come across them.

Hawaii Dala silver certificates (2007)
In 2007, NORFED issued $1 Hawaii Dala warehouse receipts for one-twentieth (1/20) troy ounce of .999 silver at the $20 silver base, warehoused at Royal Hawaiian Warehouse, Honolulu. The face shows Kamehameha I; the back is the green Hawaiian warehouse receipt with the coat of arms and motto Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka Aina I Ka Pono.
Each note is a negotiable receipt when the back carries a warehouse stamp date. The prefix on the serial (printed as NO. on the face) marks the issue class:
| Prefix | Class | Documented serial range |
|---|---|---|
| PR | Proof | 1 – 1000 |
| SP | Specie | 1001 – 2000 (through SP002000) |
| A | First day of issue | 3000 – 4000 |
| A | General issue | above 4000 |
Documented ranges are taken from the 2007 Hawaii Dala release pamphlet and examples in this collection.
PR — proof (serial through 1000)
PR000591, warehouse stamp August 31, 2007.
SP — specie (serial 1001–2000)
SP001635, warehouse stamp August 29, 2007.
A — first day of issue (serial 3000–4000)
Look for serials A003000 through A004000 with early August 2007 warehouse stamp dates. I do not have a numbered example in the 3000–4000 band photographed yet; if you have one, send a scan to brian 'at' norfed 'dot' info.
A — general issue (serial above 4000)
A004530, warehouse stamp August 31, 2007 (serial 4530 is above the first-day ceiling 4000).
Additional A-prefix example from this collection: A002854, warehouse stamp August 25, 2007.
Proof Certificates
The $20 and $50 Liberty Dollar proof certificates were non-negotiable prototypes not intended for circulation. Marked with "NO SILVER" on both sides, these proofs differed from standard certificates backed by precious metals. The $20 proof certificates are rarer than their valid counterparts, widely distributed in the $40 envelopes.
The $50 certificates were never intended for circulation, so there are no valid $50 certificates. These proofs were part of trial runs and mainly distributed among Regional Currency Officers (RCOs) as gifts. A few variants of the $50 proof certificates exist, differentiated by their holographic logos and serial number markings.
