Gold-plated but not gold. All 1972 halves were made of copper-nickel and are only worth 50 cents in circulated condition.

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.

The gold plating adds nothing to the value of 50 cents.
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.
Unfortunately the added gold does not increase the value, but it's still worth about $10.00 for the silver.
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.
About $4.50 for the silver. The gold plating adds no value and collectors will view it as damaged. However, a 1967 half dollar is 40% silver and is a common date only worth silver scrap.
The US has never made a gold half dollar of any date, it's likely been gold plated take it to a coin dealer for an idea of value.
