The 1863 $5 Liberty Gold coin, known as the "No Motto" variety, is a significant collectible within U.S. numismatics. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin features the iconic Liberty design by James B. Longacre, characterized by a left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty. The absence of a motto on the reverse distinguishes it from later versions, making it a notable reference point in gold coinage history. Collectors often seek this coin for its historical context and its representation of Civil War-era currency in the United States.
