  Probably melt, because it'd be pretty hard to tell it was actually supposed to be an eagle and not a kruggerand or something.

  I disagree. It'll carry a premium. How big? I don't know. I've never seen one. Got a pic?

  There are always ways to find that out, for example very small difference in size, thickness etc.
  
  No idea about value tough, old ones can go pretty high once in a while.

  Send it to PCGS, they should be able to tell.

  Should have significant premium. As other said, authentication is a problem. Is this a blank (totally flat on both sides) or a planchet (raised rims)? One of the big error folks should be able to comment, but if I was pulling a number out of thin air I'd guess in the $2,000 range, +/- 50%....

  The gold American Eagle coins are 3% silver. This could be proven via an x-ray flourescence (or whatever they call it these days) test.
