Question
This coin is incased for a pendent I am not sure if it is real or not. Front has lady liberty head with stars all around her head. The back has an eagle with TWENTY D.under it.

Answer
Hi Lynn,

The US Mint did not produce $20 Gold pieces in 1776.  Chances are it is a replica or medal commemorating the bicentennial.  Unless the medal is gold, it probably has little value.

I hope this clarified things for you.
