More information is needed concerning this coin before an estimated value can be given. Include the date on the coin, the denomination and the national origin of the coin in a new question.
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 .
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.
July 24, 2009 Gold plating a coin destroys its numismatic value. The Bicentennial quarter is worth but a quarter plus the value of the bit of gold used to plate it.
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.

The U.S. never struck any gold coins for the Bicentennial. Many Bicentennial dollars, halves and quarters were privately gold plated and sold as "Collectible" coins. The coins have no numismatic value. The coin is face value, unless you find someone that wants it.
Sorry, but the U.S. Mint never issued a 3-piece bicentennial gold coin set. I have seen many sets of dual/dated (1776-1976) dollars, halves and quarters that have been gold plated by different company's and sold as "collectibles" but they have no numismatic value.
8-2-11>>> The Bicentennial was in 1976 not 1972, if the piece is gold (or plated) and dated 1972 it is NOT a US Mint product. The Mint did not strike any modern gold coins until 1984.
Depends a lot on who made it and what condition it is in.
The U.S. Mint was not producing gold coins in 1976.
It's not actually gold, but rather a regular copper/nickel bicentennial quarter that's been gold-plated. Modifying it like that actually destroys collector value. It's only worth as much as someone on eBay is willing to pay; probably $5 or less.
Ten cents - it's not real gold, it's plated.The US never made gold dimes, nor were special dimes minted for the Bicentennial. Private companies took ordinary 1976 dimes, plated them, and sold them at inflated prices as "Bicentennial collectibles". But once the celebrations were over, the bottom dropped out of the market for Bicentennial memorabilia.http://wiki.answers.com/What_is_a_gold_bicentennial_dime_worth#ixzz15xY7MA8Q
