You'll need to be more specific than "circa", because that means "somewhere near". Also, an eagle is a $10 coin; a double eagle is a $20 coin.
If you mean that the coin was SPECIFICALLY minted in 1908, AND it's a double eagle, its value as of 07/2008 is about $1100 for its gold content, regardless of mint mark.
However from an artistic standpoint the St Gaudens design is considered to be one of the 2 or 3 most beautiful coins ever minted, so the thought of throwing it in a melting pot is a bit depressing.
