The Classic Head Half Eagle, a five-dollar gold coin, was minted in the United States from 1834 to 1839. The 1808 version is particularly noteworthy, as it is the only half eagle issued in that year, making it a significant rarity among collectors. Designed by engraver John Reich, the Classic Head features a depiction of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The limited mintage and historical context contribute to its desirability and value in the realm of collectible coins.
