What kind of quarter sells for that much?

A gold one from 1821.


Are you sure it wasn't a 'quarter eagle'? That's a 2 1/2 dollar gold coin so named because $10 gold coins were called 'eagles' and $20 gold coins were called 'double eagles.'

I googled and can't find where the U.S. ever minted gold 'quarters" as in gold twenty-five cent coins. If there were gold quarters, you just "learned me good."

I didn't say it was a quarter dollar. I just said "quarter"

New York is fun, though. Worthwhile trip.
