The Classic Head Half Eagles are a series of gold coins minted in the United States from 1834 to 1839. The obverse features a classic head of Liberty, while the reverse depicts an eagle with a shield. The 1815 date, though, is not applicable to this specific type as the half eagle was not minted in that year. The denomination of five dollars is significant in U.S. numismatics, representing a key era in gold coinage under the Coinage Act of 1834, which adjusted gold content in U.S. coins. Collectors highly value these coins for their historical importance, scarcity, and numismatic appeal within the early 19th-century American coinage.
