The Classic Head Half Eagle is a gold coin that was minted by the United States from 1834 to 1839. The design features a classic depiction of Liberty with a headband inscribed with the word "LIBERTY" on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The five-dollar denomination, or half eagle, was significant in American currency during its time. The 1822 Classic Head Half Eagle is particularly notable for its rarity, with only a few known surviving examples, making it a sought-after collectible among numismatists and investors.
