Description
For your review are two 1885 five dollar gold coins. Following the horror of the Civil War and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, many Americans sought comfort and meaning in religious faith. Responding to popular sentiment, Congress mandated the inclusion of the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on coinage in March 1865. Beginning in 1866, this motto was added to the $5 Half Eagle gold coin, as well as its companion $2.50 Liberty Quarter Eagle and $10 Liberty Half Eagle. It appears in a banner above the eagle on the reverse. MAKER: United States Treasury. This lot must be paid for using certified funds (cashiers check, money order, wire transfer, etc.).
