Classic Head Half Eagles are a type of gold coin issued by the United States Mint from 1834 to 1839, featuring a design by engraver William Kneass. The coins have a face value of five dollars and are made of 90% gold. The obverse showcases a classic head of Liberty, while the reverse displays an eagle with a shield. The 1812 reference is significant as it pertains to the era of early United States coinage but does not directly relate to the Classic Head series, which began later. These coins are sought after by collectors for their historical significance and gold content.
