According to the 2009 Whitman "The official Red Book" the value of an 1881 gold octagonal half-dollar is between $170 and $2400 depending on what you have, there are several versions. I have an uncirculated large Indian head with just the value in the wreath and the value is $600. Hope this helps..

This coin is not a government issue coin and it really needs to be seen for an assessment. Even if it is authentic the values are not large around $125.00 at most. Also the question does not give enough information. What design is on the obverse of the coin and the reverse. Is the denomination a fraction or spelled out.FYI if there is a bear on the reverse of the coins it's a modern replica with no value at all.

Fractional gold coins are not US Mint issue but were privately minted and the dates range from 1852-1883, some are round and others are octagonal. Coins with a bear on them regardless of date are modern replicas that have no or very little value, more than 500 types are known so the coin must be seen for a accurate assessment. Please take it to a dealer for a better idea of value.
