Product Details: This 1838 Classic Head Gold Half Eagle represents a short-lived and highly sought-after chapter in American coinage, produced just before the transition to the long-running Liberty Head design. Professionally graded XF 45 by PCGS, this specimen exhibits 'Extremely Fine' detail with only light wear on the high points of Lady Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s plumage. Struck from 22-karat gold at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin maintains a pleasing luster and the rich, honey-gold surfaces characteristic of well-preserved mid-19th-century gold. It serves as a premier historical artifact for serious collectors, capturing the essence of the 'Classic Head' era which spanned only a few years during the 1830s.
