If the coin is a Lincoln cent dated 1964 it may look like gold or have been gold plated but the US Mint has never made a gold one cent coin.
A 1959 gold Lincoln penny is not worth much. Coin collectors will pay between 45 and 65 cents for this penny depending on condition.
If it is a penny, then it has to be.
One cent for the bronze penny, and a tiny amount for the gold plating. If you think about it, a gold penny from 1964 would have been impossible. First, the US stopped minting gold coins in 1933 and private ownership wasn't allowed until the 1970s. Second, even at the (relatively) low price for gold in 1964 one cent worth of the metal would have been smaller in diameter than a pencil eraser! The US has never made a gold one cent coin, it has been plated or has toned to a gold color and it has no collectible value.
All US cents were made in copper not gold. If they were made of gold they would be worth way more than a penny. Your coin is gold plated for decorations or jewelry. It is worth very little. Perhaps a dollar two. If it was not plated gold it wold be worth more.
Sorry no US gold half penny of any date never made any

how much is a penny weight of 10k gold worth
My guess would be that it was plated with gold (or a gold-colored metal) after minting, and that it is thus worth about a penny.
The value of a 1905 gold plated Indian Head penny varies according to condition. You might get $40 for a penny in very good condition.

Pennies are made of copper and zinc. there is no gold in them
