The Classic Head Half Eagle, a gold coin valued at five dollars, was minted in the United States from 1834 to 1839. The 1838 issue is particularly significant as it represents the first minting of this design at the Charlotte Mint in North Carolina, which was established to facilitate gold mining in the region. The coin features a classic head depiction of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle with shield on the reverse, contributing to its appeal among collectors due to its historical context and limited mintage.
