Found coin in grama's jewelry.

Hello,
My Grama passed away 2 years ago and while going through her boxes of jewelry this week I found this coin. I know nothing about coins or collecting but since she had it tucked away I assume it meant something to her or had some value. I'd appreciate any feedback you have!
TIA

1929 Quarter Eagle. It's made out of gold. I don't own any of these so unsure of the value. Condition looks like it would be AU.

 

Thank you

 

Hello ShaniGirl. Thank you for sharing your Grama's coin. That is an Indian Head quarter Eagle. Gold!

rooman9 beat me to describe what your coin is

 

What a beautiful coin to pass on to the young 'un!

 

For sure! I actually have another of this coins that is a pendant on a necklace the same Grama had given me. Treasures for sure!

 

Realistically maybe around 300$ in AU - 532,000 minted.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

great coin. your grandma had great taste in coins. if I were you I would keep it forever. sentimental value is off the charts.

 

Nice find! What a coin to pass on through the family.

 

For sure! Thank you. She was a very special lady!

 

Yes! My 8 month old is named after her!

 

First, welcome to the neighborhood, Shani!

That's a beautiful coin! You need to put it in a protective holder like a 2x2 flip.

Welcome to CT, very nice coin in great condition!!

 

I agree with you, keep it.

 

whats the mint mark on this?

 

No mint marks on any 1929... all philly. After blowing the pics up, looks high AU to low MS to me. Value of $250-$300 probably. Welcome!

 

1929 Birthyear? Or married in 29?
