Sesquicentennial of American Independence (1926) Quarter Eagle Auctions

The 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence was the occasion of an international fair held in the Philadelphia in 1926. To help raise funds for financing the fair, special issues of half dollars and quarter eagles were authorized by Congress. For the first time, a portrait of a President appeared on a coin struck during his own lifetime.

President Calvin Coolidge and George Washington are depicted on the obverse of the half dollar. The reverse bears an accurate model of the Liberty Bell. John R. Sinnock, chief engraver of the United States Mint, the sesquicentennial coins from designs by John Frederick Lewis. The dies were in very low relief, causing much loss for detail.

The obverse of this special gold quarter eagle has a standing female figure symbolic of Liberty, holding in one hand a scroll representing the declaration of Independence and in the other the Torch of Freedom. The reverse bears a representation of Independence Hall in Philadelphia. The coin was designed by John R. Sinnock.
