$20.00 double eagle

[RKinOI]

A friend of mine's father gave her a 1891 twenty dollar double egal with no mint mark.From what I looked up on line there were only 1350 minted with 52 proofs. Can anyone tell me the value of this coin and is it as rare as I think it is?

GOLD IS A WONDERFULL THING! AND SO IS PLATIUMUM! I know, my SDB at the bank is full of it! I like to visit regularly and play around with it!. I like holding a ounce of gold in one hand and a U.S. dollar bill in the other guess which one feels like real money?
