Who brought the statue of liberty?
The Statue of Liberty is a landmark that New York believed was their's because it was in their water. When truly the Statue of Liberty is in New Jersey's water which means it should belong to New Jersey. As a whole though it belongs to the United States and doesn't belong to any state but, New York used to make money off it until they closed it. They closed it that way there would not be another event like September 11, 2001.
In contrary to the above answer, the Statue of Liberty belongs to New Jersey. It is in New Jersey's waters. The address of said statue is 1 Communipaw Avenue, Jersey City, NJ 07305. It is paid for by Jersey City and powered by it as well. The statue was originally a gift from an architect, who made two other statues, of Bayonne, France to the residents of, Bayonne, NJ. The statue does not belong to New York, and it was never intended to belong to it. People have a false misconception because it appears on the license plate of New York State. The point of Lady Liberty looking away from NJ is to show that she is guiding us, not looking at NYC.
Actually on the contrary the address is Liberty Island New York, NY 10004 and its in New York Harbor even look on Google Maps or any other map, they all say the same thing: New York Not, New Jersey. But in the question who owns it , it would be the Government, not one singular state
Back in the 70's when i was a kid , growing up in Jersey City , NJ i had a map and it did bear the address 1 Communipaw Ave. Jersey City, NJ . Communipaw ave. runs straight through Jersey City in the direction of the Statue of Liberty. It is nowhere near New York when looking at a map. It is in fact powered by New Jersey and it's maintenance facility is in Jersey City. Greedy New York back in the early 90's fought to get the statue of liberty in their court as to suck in the tax money from tourism. And guess what...New York won that case. Only then did the address change to a New York address. Also, Look at Staten Island on a map, tell me that does not belong to New Jersey Geographically.
Regardless though, as in just about everything, until The Soprano's New Jersey had nothing to identify itself, so it had to try and steal it's identity from New York. This is evident in so many ways such as convincing the NY Giants, NY Jets and NY Nets (at least the Nets regained their senses and returned to NY) to come and play there. So the Statue or Liberty, Ellis Island and even Staten Island are just more plots of New Jersians trying to find plausibility for existence in the shadow of New York City. I mean come on, do you really believe immigrants traveled to the new world to come to New Jersey.

There is an observation deck in the crown of the statue, however since 9/11 no access inside the statue has been permitted. Currently, the pedestal at the base of the monument is as high as you can go.

The interior was never really designed for tourists, and was originally meant only as maintenance access.

Liberty Enlightening the World, known more commonly as the Statue of Liberty, is a statue given to the United States by France in the late 19th century, standing at Liberty Island in the mouth of the Hudson River in New York Harbor as a welcome to all returning Americans, visitors, and immigrants. The copper statue, dedicated on October 28, 1886, commemorates the centennial of the United States and is a gesture of friendship between the two nations. The sculptor was Frederic Auguste Bartholdi; Gustave Eiffel, the designer of the Eiffel Tower, engineered the internal supporting structure.

How much is a one troy ounce liberty coin with a buffalo on the back of it worth?
These "coins" are made as a convenient way to buy and sell small amounts of silver as an investment and the price is determined by the daily metals markets. Today's paper says that yesterday's closing price was $7.00 per ounce. Most dealers will pay 80-90% of the current spot price and sell for spot plus 20-25% if you are dealing with only one ounce, so figure you could buy one for about $8-$9 or sell one for $6-$6.50. Flea-market dealers and antique stores usually think theirs are worth about twice as much when selling.
