The words "copy" and "copper" are a giveaway. That means the coin is a replica, not a genuine item, and it's made of an inexpensive base metal so it has effectively no value either to collectors or a metal dealer.
There's no such coin. If you have a large (38 mm) coin with a picture of President Eisenhower on the front, it's an ordinary copper-nickel dollar that was plated with a tiny amount of gold, and has no extra value except as a curiosity.
Gold-plated, but not gold. All circulating Eisenhower dollars were struck in copper-nickel, so the gold-plating doesn't add anything to its $1 value.
The US mint did not make this coin, it was done outside of the mint an is gold plated or copper plate, but it still has value for the silver under the plating. It's worth about a dollar.
The value of this would depend entirely upon the value of the metal it contains. {ie: silver, gold, silver plated over copper etc.}
50¢. It's not real gold. It's plated. Your coin is an ordinary copper-nickel half-dollar issued by the billions in honor of the country's Bicentennial. Private companies plated them with a thin layer of gold and sold them at inflated prices as "collectibles". However they're considered altered coins and have little or no collector value.
If it has been copper plated, it's still just a dime.

You have a Franklin half dollar, issued from 1948 to 1963. It's made of silver. The color is due to tarnish or it may have been plated. If it's been plated it's only worth its metal content, about $5 as of 03/2009

Gold-plated but not gold. All 1972 halves were made of copper-nickel and are only worth 50 cents in circulated condition.
$1. It's gold-plated, not gold. The U.S. didn't strike any gold coins in 1972 but a lot of private companies took normal copper-nickel dollars, plated them, and sold them as "collectibles" at significant markups.
1 cent. It's actually made of 97.5% zinc and is only copper-plated.
$1. There were no gold dollars struck that year, only copper-nickel. Your coin has been plated with a tiny amount of gold that would cost a lot more than a dollar to remove.
