The 1879 $5 Liberty Gold coin, often referred to as the Liberty Head or the Liberty Gold piece, was minted during the period from 1839 to 1908 in the United States. This particular coin features the profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse and a bald eagle on the reverse, surrounded by a wreath. The "With Motto" designation indicates that the coin includes the phrase "In God We Trust," which was added later in the series. Collectors value the 1879 Liberty Gold coin for its historical significance, gold content (0.24187 troy ounces), and its aesthetic appeal, often sought after in both circulated and uncirculated conditions.
