It says 1933, one side has an eagle(i think) and the other side has a lady holding some branches. Any ideas?

If it is the replica and which has $0.05 of gold on it, wouldn't it be worth $20.05?

It is a replica of one of the rarest coins in the world. A real one sold for 12 million dollars a few years ago. The coin was minted, but never released to the public before President Roosevelt recalled all gold coins. They were supposed to be melted, but a few were "leaked" to collectors. The one auctioned had a long history, and got special permission from the US government to be sold. All others the US government claim are illegal and property of them.
They have sold these replicas for a few years now. They are base metal coins, with a microscopic layering of gold.

An 1895-dated Coronet $20 Double Eagle gold has retail values as below: => 1895 Average circulated : $750 Nice circulated with traces of luster and all details visible : $775 to $800 About uncirculated with light wear and most luster present : $825 to $835 => 1895-S (small "S" under eagle) Values same as above. * The above are retails prices when you buy. If you sell, coin dealers pay less. Have a great day too.

,medoraman got this one right. It is a copy with maybe 5 cents worth of gold on it. There is only one that is legal to own and it sold for a few million dollars to an unknown buyer at auction. The family of a jeweler who got his hands on 10 of them, lost them to the secret service and there is now a court battle going on to see who gets them, the government or the jewelers relatives.

its probably worth more than $20 to collectors. Take a look on ebay for similar items and see what price they expect buyers to pay.

I doubt it. It is most likely that it is merely a reproduction of the real thing.
