1907 quarter eagles are composed of an alloy made of 90 percent gold and 10 percent copper, which is a standard “coin gold” alloy for gold coinage of the era. These coins weigh 4.18 grams and boast a gold content of 0.1202 ounces. They measure 18 millimeters in diameter and are just slightly wider than a modern U.S. dime.

Designed by Christian Gobrecht, 1907 Liberty Head quarter eagles were among the last coins of the mid-1800s to still be circulating in the early 1900s. Bela Lyon Pratt’s Indian Head design would overtake the $2.50 denomination in 1908 and become one of just two U.S. coins with an incuse design, the other coin being the similar Indian Head $5 half eagle.
