The Classic Head Half Eagle is a gold coin type minted by the United States from 1834 to 1839, characterized by its design featuring a classic head of Liberty on the obverse. The 1823 date is significant as it reflects the earlier period of U.S. gold coinage; however, the Half Eagle specifically did not exist in that year due to earlier design standards. The coin has a face value of five dollars and is composed primarily of gold, contributing to its appeal among collectors. Collectors often seek these coins due to their historical significance and the artistry of their design.
