The Classic Head Half Eagle, a $5 gold coin, was minted in the United States from 1834 to 1839. The design features a classic head of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse, symbolizing strength and freedom. The 1808 issue, while not part of the Classic Head series, is also significant in U.S. numismatics due to its rarity and historical context surrounding gold coinage. Coins from the Philadelphia Mint often hold higher premium values due to their historical significance and demand among collectors.
