They are worth only the amount of BULLION plus a small premium. Coin dealers will usually only pay spot and then charge about a 4% to 6% premium should you wish to buy. On Feb 28, 2011 the coin is worth $1365 (spot gold at $1411/troy ounce). Expect to pay $1420 from a coin dealer. You can try offering him less knowing that he buys at spot. I would offer $1400.

Note that these coins are called Double Eagles, not Eagles. At that time the term "eagle" was an actual coin denomination, worth $10, so a $20 gold piece was a double eagle. The new silver and gold bullion coins minted since the 1980s are called "American Eagle" coins as a marketing name, but they have nothing to do with the old eagle-denominated gold pieces minted until 1933.
