Lonesome John said that that was a diagnostic for fake $5-cc golds.

Is it real? With the banner under WE in the motto missing I would question it. Seems

162 and 163 of his book: Detecting Counterfeit Gold Coins, Book 2?
It's an exact match for his description.

So, PCGS has debunked the broken ribbon theory that John Devine wrote on pages
162 and 163 of his book: Detecting Counterfeit Gold Coins, Book 2?
It's an exact match for his description.
Also an exact match for some of those shown on the CoinFacts page.

Love the look.

Hoard the keys
Most likely it's graded a bit lower due to less luster than a mid-AU should have.

I always thought the mintmark set with $5 Libs would be a fun set. Short, but challenging.
Too challenging on my budget, but fun to think about. Good for you.
Did there used to be Capital Plastics holders for such a set?
Maybe those are semi-obsolete now, in the slab era, if you're going to collect tough gold, but a black CP holder with the various mintmarks in gold beneath the holes would be handsome. Particularly with the optional gold colored screws.
PS- of course, if one were doing such a set in slabs, one could add a W-mint modern gold $5.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
