The value of any antique coin depends on the condition the coin is in, the mint of the coin (as in Carson City, Delaware, etc.) and the current market for the coin. However, my coin book states that for an 1878 gold Half Eagle, you could get anywhere between $85 and $175.
The United States Mint issued 6 different denominations of gold coins in 1878, One Dollar, Quarter Eagle ($2.50), Three Dollars, Half Eagle ($5), Eagle ($10), and Double Eagle ($20).
