The U.S. has never struck dimes in gold. For one thing, at current prices even a dime-sized gold coin would be worth over $60.
Your coin has either been plated for use in jewelry or as a novelty piece, or it's been exposed to something like heat or chemical agents that discolored it. Either way, it's considered an altered coin with no numismatic value.
If it has a normal diameter it's unlikely to be an error coin. It couldn't be struck without the press collar that gives the coin its reeds. If you can get hold of a micrometer measuring device, compare the dime to a normal reeded one. If it's slightly smaller, the reeds are missing either due to wear or because someone smoothed them off with metalworking tools. In either case it's just a curiosity with no collector value, I'm afraid.
hold on to it, value keeps increasing
Depending on the condition it is worth 25 to 25000 dollars. The O stands for New Orleans mint the arrows is something they did 1853 through 1855. The 1854 O with arrows was not an uncommon coin but has become one. One thing to understand is through out the years there are certain points when coins where melted because of a high silver price. A lot of people held on to the rare mintages and disposed of the more common dates. According to the PCGS population estimate only 300 survive today the rarity rating in any condition is 6.4 which makes this a rare coin. The scale is 1 to 10 1 being over a million around 10 being the only known example. I just happen to have a dime like this that is in F to VF condition that's worth about 30 to 40 dollars. My advise is hold on to it if you can and don't sell it for scrap silver you would only get 1 dollar out of it; There are plenty of 1964 dimes for that. PS I originally answered this thinking it was a dime but I see it is a half dime the value is greater than the dime.
The only 1973 dimes to carry an S mint mark were made for sale in proof sets, so if your coin has that letter on it, it's from a proof set that someone broke up and spent. The fact that it was put into circulation destroyed any extra value it had as a proof coin but you haven't lost much because it was only worth maybe 45 or 50 cents before someone took it out of its original Mint packaging. In any case it's an interesting curiosity to hold onto.
All Eisenhower dollar coins struck for circulation have only face value, just the proof and special collectors coins sold from the mint hold higher value.
If you can you need to hold onto it. Gold is the only thing that will be of value when currency is no good.
Older American gold coins are a great asset to hold. Quantitative Easing may be diminishing the value of the dollar, but gold retains its value. The Coins section of the About website gives indications of values of old gold coins.

No US gold coins were minted in 1975. Proof sets contained only the standard circulating coins of the time: A 1975 dated cent, nickel, and dime, and a dual-dated 1776-1976 Bicentennial quarter, half dollar, and dollar.
$1 if it is a Sacajawea Dollar, the coins aren't actually gold but rather an alloy of copper and brass making them be worth simply $1. The value of the actual materials inside the coin is around 6 cents. They aren't rare and hold no special collector value.
Would You Hold It Against Me was created in 1966.
Dime sized bolts.
Get a normal U.S. dime. Hold the dime between your fingers and put it in the end of the barrel. If it goes in, its modified. If it dont fit, its full
Gold is considered as a universal currency in the world. Although it is no longer a primary form of currency in the most countries, gold bars remain a popular and good investment for the following reasons. Firstly, gold can be easily converted into cash anywhere. Also, gold tends to maintain its value over time and also rises in value when inflation takes hold.
