The plating is only a few atoms thick. There is very little aftermarket demand for plated coins so unless you can find someone who specifically collects them, it's probably not worth more than $1.50 or $2.00, if that.
It's not gold, just gold-plated. The plating doesn't add to its value. It was put on by a private company and the coin was sold as an "instant collectible" but the market for them virtually disappeared once the Bicentennial celebrations were over.
Eisenhower was on the dollar, and Kennedy is on the half dollar. Either way, any circulated bicentennial coin is worth face value.
None of the Bicentennial coins were struck in gold. Many of these coins have been gold plated privately and sold as "Collectibles" but they have no numismatic value. It's just a dollar.
August 10, 2009 The 1976 Silver Eisenhower Bicentennial coin in uncirculated grades is valued from $10 to $70 depending upon the actual condition of the coin.
Check that coin again. Eisenhower was on the DOLLAR, and Kennedy is on the HALF. Either way, bicentennial coins are extremely common and only worth face value.

The coin is a common bicentennial Eisenhower dollar that MAY have been gold plated or just toned a gold color, the coin is face value.

The 1977 Eisenhower dollar is NOT silver, the last 40% silver collectors coins of the series were the bicentennial coins. None of the Eisenhower dollars struck for general circulation have any silver or are worth more that face value.
The U.S. Mint did not produce any gold dollars for the bicentennial. There are aftermarket examples of gold plated dollars but they are just regular production coins which have been gold plated. They have no added numismatic value and their actual value is limited to the value of the metals in them .
Please check your coin again. President Eisenhower was on the $1 coin issued during the Bicentennial. JFK was (and is) on the half dollar.
It is worth face value unless it has the mintmark "S" on it.
