Please report back to me and tell me the coin's denomination - is it a quarter eagle, a half eagle, etc. (?) and the coin's mint state.

I need to know the coin's denomination (is it a quarter eagle, a half eagle, etc) and its mint state in order for me to relay to you its current value.
Do you mean "eagle quarter" or "quarter eagle"?There really isn't any US coin called an "eagle quarter"because ALL quarters up to 1998 had an eagle on the back.However, there WAS a coin called a "quarter eagle" - it was a gold coin with the somewhat strange denomination of $2.50 that was issued up till the US went off the gold standard in the early 1930s.
Please see
A Gold $5 coin from 1887 is called a "quarter eagle" ... According to the retail guide, the average value of this coin is around $300, depending, of course, on the current market value for spot gold.
The US has never made a gold 25 cent coin.
The US Mint issued gold coins in 4 denominations in 1908; the Quarter Eagle { $2.50 }, the Half Eagle { $5.00 }, the Eagle {$10.00 }, the Double Eagle { $20.00 }. Please examine your coin and submit a new question giving the denomination as well as the date of the coin.
The US quarter eagle has .12094oz of pure gold
The only US gold coin dated 1820 is a Capped Head Quarter Eagle ($5.00) gold piece. Three different varieties exist, the most common type has a minimum value of $3,500.00
U.S. gold coins were face value in the year 1800. At the time only $2.50 (Quarter Eagle) $5.00 (Half Eagle) and $10.00 (Eagle) coins had been issued.
I will put a value of $420.00 retail on this coin. That's the value of a Extremely Fine graded Quarter Eagle dated 1888
