What is the value of The United States Constitution 200TH Anniversary Double Eagle Commemorative Bicentennial Celebration Coin dated September 17 1987?

Answer:
I have two of these coins from my father. I can't anything on them on the web. I too would like to know the value.


As far as I am able to determine, this coin has no precious metal value. It is not minted by the uS Mint and is not US legal tender. It is not made of silver or gold, although it may be zinc with silver plating. Normally, the term "Double Eagle" means a $20 gold coin. The US Mint is minting commemorative gold half eagles. but not eagles and not double eagles. On this coin, "Double Eagle" is a play on words as there is an eagle that appears to be landing on a mirror, thus showing two eagles. It has novelty value only. I would estimate its value at $5 USD max.

9/9/09 There was both a gold and a silver coin issued in 1987 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the constitution. It sounds like you have the gold coin, since that is the only one with an eagle on it. It has a weight of 0.2687 troy ounces. It is composed of 90% gold, 3.6% silver and 6.4% copper. My experience is that the value fluctuates with the value of gold. You can check on EBAY to see what they have sold for recently.
