Your question is a bit confusing, because a double eagle is a $20 coin, not $50.
If you in fact have a $50 coin it contains 1 ounce of gold, so it would be in the $950-1000 range at current prices. A $20 coin would be proportionately less.
This coin's value is based on the price of gold, which changes every day. The $5 denomination is artificial. These coins contain 1/10 of a troy oz. of gold, so to get an approximate price visit a site such as kitco.com which will give you the current price of 1 oz of gold.
This is a American Eagle Gold 1/2 ounce bullion coin. The value is tied to the spot price of gold at time of sale. As of 10-26-11 it's $1,720.80 per ounce, so the value is $860.40. This price is a little less than you could buy it for and a little more than you could sell it for. But it gives you an idea of value. Collectors versions of this coin do have higher values.
NOTE: The spot price of gold and other precious metals changes by the minute when the market is open. So the value of this coin will go up and down.
About $1000, for its gold content.
Also, an "eagle" is a $10 coin. A $20 coin is called a "double eagle"
" Value" is a subjective term. To a collector it is worth more than a gold buyer, If it was a gift from your grandfather, the value is....priceless. Sell the watchband !!
