In 1943 half dollars were made of silver not gold. Yours is only gold plated. The value is still about $9 for the silver it contains. The gold plating does not add any value and in some cases can destroy any value you have.
There was never a gold half penny issued by the U.S. Mint.
The U.S. half dollar has never been made of gold. What you probably have is a gold-plated 1979 half-dollar. It's not really worth much above face value.
It is only gold plated which adds no extra value. Since it is a gold plated coin it is considered altered and is worth face value.
The Mint does NOT make gold half dollars. The coin has been gold plated. Gold plated Kennedy halves are only face value.
British Guineas were no longer minted after 1813. They were replaced by the Sovereign.
British gold coins have been minted for over a thousand years. In 1786, the British gold coins in circulation were the Five Guinea, Two Guinea, Guinea and Half-Guinea coins. The Guinea was equal to 21 Shillings.
The Guinea and its fractional denominations were withdrawn from circulation in 1816 and effectively replaced by the Sovereign and Half-Sovereign (One Pound and Ten Shillings respectively). When the Guinea was in circulation, it was worth One Pound and One Shilling (or 21 Shillings). The Shilling was progressively withdrawn from circulation after decimalisation. The Shilling became 5 New Pence in the new decimal currency. A Half-Guinea in modern terms, would be the equivalent of 55 Pence.

The value of this coin is based on the spot price of gold at time of sale. A $25.00 coin is one half ounce of gold so value is half of spot price.
Britain has produced many different gold coins over many hundreds of years. The most common would be the Sovereign and the Half-Sovereign. Other circulating gold coins from the past 300 years would include the Guinea, Two Guinea, Five Guinea, Half-Guinea, Third Guinea, Five Pound and Two Pound. In more recent years there have been a lot of non-circulating gold coins minted. There are many coins of gold appearance, but these are mostly made from a nickel brass alloy and are much more likely to be seen in circulation than genuine gold coins.
