You need to know if you have "just a replica" or a replica bullion coin. Most replicas are made of plated base metal so they're only worth a few bucks. If it's an actual bullion coin it's worth whatever the gold it contains sells for at the current market price. If it's a bullion coin it'll probably have the weight and purity stamped on it somewhere. If not, it's probably just a cheap copy. Your can always check with a dealer or appraiser who can perform a purity test, if you want.

The coin is not solid gold. The composition is .900 gold and .100 copper. The 1897 Double Eagle was struck at the Philadelphia and San Francisco Mints but both are common and easily acquired in all grades and values are the same. Circulated examples have retail values of $1,340.00 to $1,540.00, only a $200.00 spread over 9 different grades. Mint state examples are $20.00 more at $1,560.00.
