biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/21/2011 11:08 am It appears that you have a copy of a $20 Liberty Double Eagle. The design is not quite right for a genuine coin and the color looks like copper instead of gold. There also appears to be a white metal showing through the copper where it was crimped/cut. Specs for the real thing are 33.4 grams and 34 millimeters. Report this Post to the Staff

GRR Valued Member United States 310 Posts	Posted 02/22/2011 02:26 am looks like it from the pics. doesn't hurt to take it into a coin shop and have someone look at it. With the damage I'd say it's worth Bullion value at best IF it's real. BV is what around $1360 on a double eagle Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4421 Posts	Posted 02/23/2011 10:08 pm A jewelery shop could test the metal. Chances are that the damage was done in order to see if the coin was solid or plated. It does appear plated to resemble gold. A jeweler can confirm this. Report this Post to the Staff
