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.

Being that it's a copy, it's worth next to nothing. It's gold-plated base metal.

Yes, a double eagle is a gold coin that contains exactly one ounce of gold. Specifically, the American double eagle, minted from 1849 to 1933, has a gold content of 0.9675 troy ounces of pure gold, but its total weight is 1 ounce when including the alloy. The coin is known for its high gold content and historical significance.
"double eagle penny" is kind of an oxymoron. A double eagle coin has a face value of $20. However, a gold coin is probably worth considerably more than face value.
Um, no such coin exists. Double Eagles refer to $20 gold coins which were last minted in 1933 (1932 for circulation issues) there is no such thing as a silver double eagle. You may, however have an Eisenhower dollar which unless it has an "S" mintmark, does not contain any silver and is not worth any more than $1.
The US government claims that the 1933 Double Eagle coins cannot be the legal possession of any member of the public, as they were never issued and hence they remain the property of the US government.
