6-5-11>>> Assuming the coin is a 1857 Flying Eagle cent that has not been cleaned and in circulated condition, retail value for a low grade coin should be at least $25.00. I do suggest showing it to a dealer or collector for grading.
Not "eagle head" - it shows the entire eagle so these are known as Flying Eagle cents. See the Related Question for more.
For 1857 they were called Flying Eagle cents and are valued from $25 to $25,000 depending upon the condition of the coin.
Assuming the coin has not been cleaned and "excellent condition" is EF-45, retail value should be about $150.00. I do suggest showing it to a dealer or collector for grading.
In 1857 two types of penny's were issued. A Large cent and Small cent with very different values. Please post new question with more information.

"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.
Look at the coins again. No Flying Eagle cents are dated 1886 or 1909. They were only struck from 1856 to 1858.
The last U.S. half cent was made in 1857.
The mint never struck any silver 1 cent coins of any date, if it looks silver in color it's likely been cleaned or plated or possibly a replica of some type and has little or no collectible value.
The value varies by date and condition. For a specific value, ask about a specific coin.
No such coin exists, the last US half cents were made in 1857.
