Quarter Eagle gold coins were designed by Robert Scot, whose denomination were struck at the main mint in Philadelphia as well as at various branch mints, which exists in different places namely Charlotte, from 1838 to 1859; New Orleans, from 1838 to 1857; Dahlonega, from 1839 to 1859; San Francisco, from 1854 to 1879; and Denver, from 1911 to 1925.
The first issues of the Quarter Eagle gold coins weighed sixty-seven and a half grains, whose fineness is 0.9167, until the weight had been modified; to sixty-four and a half grains and the fineness, changed to 0.8992 by the ‘Act of June 28, 1834’.
The ‘Act of January 18, 1837’ established a fineness of 0.900.
Because of the comparatively lesser number of the coins’ strike, earlier to the period of 1834, which had been mixed with their higher level of the gold substance for the sake of promoting melting for their precious metal substance, every early issue ranges from scant to infrequent.
The striking of the initial issues took place during the period of 1796.
Earlier to 1856, any proof date with respect to the quarter eagle gold coins are supposed to be rare as well as would command a particular payment at any cost.
During the period of 1933, the quarter eagle denomination had formally ceased with the removal of the US from the gold standard, even though the final year of its issue was 1929.
There are various designs of the quarter eagle gold coins namely ‘Turban Head’ that is of 1796 to 1807, ‘Draped Bust’ that is of 1808, ‘Capped Head’ that is of 1821 to 1834, ‘Classic Head’ that is of 1834 to 1839, ‘Liberty Head (Coronet)’ that is of 1840 to 1907 & ‘Indian Head’ (1908 to 1915 & 1925 to 1929).

Over the ‘Numismaster’ website, Paul Green states that the ‘Coronet Head’ quarter eagle gold coins can help enthusiasts to gain an insight into the early days of Californian gold production.
At the time of the commencement of minting gold coins, during the period of 1854, the San Francisco mint had come out with the meager production of only three hundred quarter eagle gold coins, making it more difficult to obtain during the recent times.
During the month of August of this year, the ‘United States Mint’ temporarily ran out of one-ounce American quarter eagle gold coins due to an elevated demand.
This proves their status in the current scenario of the bullion market.
