Most likely. They were demonetized and destroyed sometime in 1933. There was documentation proving that one was legally exported before the gold act was passed. It is valued in 7 figures. Ten more are currently held by the Treasury department but the people who sent them to verify their authenticity is suing to have them returned. It will be interesting to see how this is resolved.

A 1933 Saint-Gaudens 20 gold coin with double eagles and the word "copy" on it is likely a replica or counterfeit coin. These types of coins have no collectible value and are not legal tender. It is important to authenticate rare coins with a reputable dealer or grading service.

It is impossible to say. Such a coin might be struck in brass and wouldn't even be worth a dollar, however, such a coin could be struck in real gold and be worth anywhere from a few hundred to a thousand dollars. There is no value in the coin's design itself, any value would have to come from the metal it was produced on, if you take it to any reputable jeweler they will be able to tell you what metal it was produced with and what the approximate value would be.

If it says "copy" on it, it's probably NOT made of gold, and as such isn't worth much.

What is the value of a 1933 20 dollar gold eagle coin?

In 2002 a 1933 double eagle sold for over $7.5 million. However, not every 1933 double eagle floating around is going to be worth that much. The reason is that other than the 1933 double eagle sold in the 2002 auction, no other 1933 double eagle is legal to own. No 1933 double eagles were released for circulation, however 445,500 were minted and all were supposed to have been melted down. Some though escaped the mint and the US Secret Service has seized nearly 20 coins that had escaped the mint because they believe that they are still technically the government's property. The reason one 1933 double eagle is legal to own is because the US government issued an export certificate for it in 1933 to allow it to be exported to Egypt before realizing that no 1933 double eagles had been released for circulation.
