The 1861 $5 Liberty Gold – No Motto is a notable collectible coin from the United States, part of the Liberty Head series minted from 1839 to 1908. This coin features a depiction of Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The absence of the motto "In God We Trust," which was later included in subsequent issues, makes this particular version more sought after by collectors. Furthermore, the 1861 mintage year holds historical significance, as it coincides with the onset of the Civil War. As with all collectible coins, factors such as condition, rarity, and historical context significantly influence its market value.
