How much is a 1908 gold US quarter eagle coin worth?

Answer 1

The $2.50 Indian is an attractive investment and collector's because the coin was minted during only 13 years. It is one of the shortest-lived series in U.S. numismatics. Quarter Eagles were created in 1908 through 1915 and again from 1925 through 1929, after which it ended.

The prices on E-bay range from 95.00 to 475.00. Depending on the condition of the coin.

Answer 2

Double eagles from this period are worth more for their gold content than as collectibles. As of 11/2008 retail prices range from about $1050 for a very worn coin to $1200 for one in like-new condition.

Answer 3

This question comes up fairly often and is a common misunderstanding. US $1 coins made up till 1935 aren't called "eagles" and they don't contain 1 oz of silver. They were ordinary circulation coins made for use in daily commerce. While they do contain silver, it's not as much - about 3/4 of a troy ounce.

"Silver eagles" are modern (1986 and later) coins sold by the Mint as investment pieces, not for spending; their value is linked to the current price of silver and the "$1" value is purely artificial.

The coin you have is frequently called a Morgan dollar after its designer. Its value in 1900 was in fact exactly $1 because silver was much cheaper and its price was controlled. Today it has value not only for its silver content but for its interest to collectors. There's more information at the Related Question.
