Liberty Head
I have just found a 1882 Liberty Head $20.00 dolllar gold coin. what is it's value?
I think people use to call them $20.00 gold piece
They were also called "double eagles" (an "eagle" is a ten dollar coin).
Two questions you need to answer before you can find out the value of your coin:
1) Which mint made the coin?
Look for the mint mark on the side with the eagle. If there is a mint mark it will be just beneath the eagle's tail feathers. Philadelphia coins have no mint mark. San Francisco coins have the letter "S". Carson City coins have the letters "CC".
2) What condition is the coin in? Learning to grade a valuable coin (and yours, if genuine, certainly is...) is extremely important. To see the truth of this statement look at the price listings for $20.00 gold coins on the PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) website. Here's the link:
http://www.pcgs.com/prices/PriceGuideDetail.aspx?c=66&title=Liberty+Head+%2420
Look down the page untill you find the 1882 coins, then move across the page through the various conditions and notice how greatly the prices increase as condition improves.
Here's another link on the subject of grading rhat will clarify this a bit for you:
