The Classic Head Half Eagle is a five-dollar gold coin produced by the United States Mint from 1834 to 1839. The coin features a distinctive design by engraver William Kneass, showcasing a classic head of Liberty on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse. The 1838 issue was minted in Philadelphia and is particularly notable as it marks the final year of the Classic Head design before transitioning to the Liberty Head style. Collectors value these coins for their historical significance, limited mintage, and the artistry of their designs.
