This coin is not a government issue coin and it really needs to be seen for an assessment. Even if it is authentic the values are not large around $125.00 at most. Also the question does not give enough information. What design is on the obverse of the coin and the reverse. Is the denomination a fraction or spelled out. F.Y.I. If there is a bear on the reverse of the coin, it's a modern replica with little or no value at all.
There was never a gold half penny issued by the U.S. Mint.

It was worth more than $1,000.
Wow! - if you possess a 1854 $20 Coronet Head Double Eagle gold coin, its value in very fine condition (VF20) is worth: at least $1200.
Denominations are needed, post new question.

This piece needs to be seen for an accurate assessment. It is NOT a U.S. Mint issue. The lowest denomination gold coin issued by the Mint is One Dollar. They are California Small-Denomination and or Fractional gold. Some are round, others octagonal with Indian heads or Liberty heads. Most of these pieces are gold plated. Coins with bears on them regardless of date, are modern replicas that have no collectible value. Some pieces do have value, so take it to a coin dealer. But don't be disappointed if it's worthless.
