I have two of these coins from my father. I can't anything on them on the web. I too would like to know the value.
As far as I am able to determine, this coin has no precious metal value. It is not minted by the uS Mint and is not US legal tender. It is not made of silver or gold, although it may be zinc with silver plating. Normally, the term "Double Eagle" means a $20 gold coin. The US Mint is minting commemorative gold half eagles. but not eagles and not double eagles. On this coin, "Double Eagle" is a play on words as there is an eagle that appears to be landing on a mirror, thus showing two eagles. It has novelty value only. I would estimate its value at $5 USD max. 9/9/09 There was both a gold and a silver coin issued in 1987 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the constitution. It sounds like you have the gold coin, since that is the only one with an eagle on it. It has a weight of 0.2687 troy ounces. It is composed of 90% gold, 3.6% silver and 6.4% copper. My experience is that the value fluctuates with the value of gold. You can check on EBAY to see what they have sold for recently.

Double eagle commemorative 200 th aniversary
what is the value
A bicentennial is a 200-year celebration. 1976 was the bicentennial for the Declaration of Independence and there was a big celebration. The bicentennial of Washington's birth in 1932 was a big event as was the bicentennial of the ratification of the US Constitution in 1987.

It won't take place for a while. Utah was a territory in 1848 but it didn't become a state until 1896. Thus, it will not celebrate a bicentennial (200 year anniversary) till the year 2096.
Happy centennial anniversary!! The centennial celebration had better be good, because I won't be around to attend the bicentennial.
California was admitted into the Union on September 9, 1850 becoming the 31st state to join the Union. California will celebrate its 200th anniversary during 2050.
200. Bi- means two, centennial means centuries (100 years).
A bicentennial celebrates 200 years of something.
Denver is in Colorado, and Colorado was admitted as a state in 1876... So the centennial celebration was in 1976.
