1835 $5 Gold Classic Head Half Eagle XF-40 PCGS
In 1835, the Philadelphia Mint produced this gold half eagle, a five-dollar denomination that showcases the distinctive Classic Head design. This particular specimen survived the decades in Extra Fine 40 condition, preserving the intricate details of its early nineteenth-century craftsmanship. With a metal composition of 89.92 percent gold, the coin contains just under a quarter ounce of precious metal, specifically 0.2419 troy ounces. The obverse of the coin displays the date 1835 beneath the classic portrait. On the reverse, the design is framed by the legend STATES OF and the abbreviated denomination 5D. A total of 371,534 of these pieces were struck in Philadelphia, none of which bear a mint mark. This certified survivor offers a tangible look at the early United States monetary system and the evolution of its gold coinage.
