The 1851 $5 Liberty Gold coin, minted in Dahlonega, is a notable collectible within U.S. numismatics. It features the Liberty head design and is composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, weighing approximately 8.36 grams. The absence of a motto on this coin indicates it was struck before the 1866 addition of "In God We Trust" on U.S. coinage. Coins from the Dahlonega mint are particularly sought after due to their limited mintage and historical significance in representing the Southern gold rush.
