The Classic Head Half Eagle is a gold coin that was minted in the United States from 1834 to 1839, with a design by engraver John Reich. The specific coin mentioned, the 1818 Five Dollar piece, does not correspond to the Classic Head series, as this design began later. The 1818 gold coins would instead belong to the earlier Capped Head variety. Classic Head Half Eagles are made of approximately 91.67% gold and weigh 8.75 grams. They were minted primarily in Philadelphia, and collectors value these coins for their historical significance and the artistic quality of their design.
