Lower grade coins are valued at $330.00-$730.00 in G-4 to F-12, EF-40 coins start at $1,500.00 so I suggest having a collector or dealer grade the coin for a better idea of value.
You have in your possession a 1897 Coronet Head $5 Half Eagle - if this coin is in fine condition (F12), its value is: $250.
"An eagle is a $10 coin. Assuming you are referring to the $5 coin, these weighed about 8.25 gm.

The 5 Dollar American Eagle coin regardless of date is a 1/10th oz Gold Bullion coin and as I type this the value is $108.10 The value of any gold bullion coin follows the spot price of gold.

The value of an 1861C half eagle ($5 piece) is between $1,500 and $15,000. Condition greatly changes the value of the coin. You have a nice coin on your hands and I recommend sending to the NGC for certification. The value that I have found is according to the 2009 US coin digest (7th edition)
