The US has never made a gold penny (or cent). Your coin has either been plated (maybe with gold, maybe it's a gold-colored bronze) or it has been affected by some chemical. Either way, it is worth one cent.
about 1 cent
The US NEVER made any gold 1 cent coins
Sorry no US gold half penny of any date never made any
All US cents were made in copper not gold. If they were made of gold they would be worth way more than a penny. Your coin is gold plated for decorations or jewelry. It is worth very little. Perhaps a dollar two. If it was not plated gold it wold be worth more.
1 cent. It's plated. If you think about it for, oh, a second or two, would it make sense for the Mint to make pennies out of gold that would be worth $50 or $60, then put them out in change for a penny?

The value of the US dollar is not based on gold. However at today's gold prices, one dollar will buy about 0.011 pennyweights of gold.

The US never struck any gold 1 cent coins, it's likely a Indian Head cent that's been cleaned and just looks like gold and has little if any collectible value at all.

One cent for the bronze penny, and a tiny amount for the gold plating. If you think about it, a gold penny from 1964 would have been impossible. First, the US stopped minting gold coins in 1933 and private ownership wasn't allowed until the 1970s. Second, even at the (relatively) low price for gold in 1964 one cent worth of the metal would have been smaller in diameter than a pencil eraser! The US has never made a gold one cent coin, it has been plated or has toned to a gold color and it has no collectible value.
No the US has never made a gold one cent coin.
A Penny..the other day I found a penny from the 20s. Its still a penny not much as changed.
