The Classic Head Half Eagle is a gold coin produced by the United States Mint, minted from 1834 to 1839. The coin features a portrait of Liberty with a classic hairstyle on the obverse, while the reverse displays an eagle with a shield, indicative of American symbolism. The denomination of five dollars reflects its value and gold content. The 1838 issue is particularly significant as it represents the final year of the Classic Head design before the introduction of the more popular Liberty Head design. Collectors value these coins for their historical significance and relative scarcity in higher grades.
