<B>1861 $5 MS65 NGC.</B></I> The 1861 is not a rare date by No Motto standards, however, the vast majority of survivors are in circulated grades. Most Mint State pieces are MS62 or lower, since they were improperly stored for many years and the soft gold alloy readily acquires bagmarks. This well struck Gem is a fortunate exception, however. The cheek and fields are remarkably clean, aside from a faint mark west of the chin and a minor blemish beneath the fletchings. Few No Motto pieces of any date can compete with the quality of the present example. Worthy of the finest gold type set. Census: 8 in 65, 2 finer (11/07).<BR><I>From The Madison Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
