The 1851 $5 Liberty Gold "No Motto" coin, minted in Charlotte, is a significant collectible from the United States. This coin features a design by James B. Longacre, showcasing the image of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The "No Motto" variety is distinguished by the absence of the motto "In God We Trust" on the reverse, which was added to later issues. Its gold content and historical context contribute to its desirability among collectors, especially given its limited mintage during the period of the California Gold Rush.
