What is the worth of a Ronald Reagan double eagle commemorative coin?
From recent eBay results, these are not worth very much. While there are some claim to silver or gold plated, the presidential double eagles I've seen appear to be base metal. A few dozen have been on eBay in the last couple weeks, asking $2.99 to $9.99 each. I don't remember seeing any Reagan medals selling, so on eBay it's probably worth a dollar or two.
This type of medal can sell at flea markets if they are untarnished and unmarked, possibly for about $10, since they look nice and can attract impulse buys, but you'd need to be selling at the flea market.
