The four primary denominations were:
$2.50, an oddball amount called a quarter-eagle. Presumably it was intended to be a 10X counterpart to the quarter.
$5.00, or half-eagle
$10.00, or eagle
$20.00 or a double eagle
The 19th century also saw gold denominations of $1, $3, and $4. The latter was also called a "stella" because it had a star design.
A $50 commemorative gold coin called either a quintuple eagle or half-union was issued in the early part of the 20th century but didn't circulate.

When was gold last used in US coins?
1933 was the last date for circulating gold coins in the US. The US went off the gold standard in 1933 as a step in ending the Great Depression. The mints had already struck quantities of gold coins with that date and some were released to circulation before the government recalled them, but most were melted. Because of that melting, 1933-dated gold coins are prized. For example only ten 1933-dated double eagles are known to have survived and they are conservatively valued at several million dollars apiece. An actual market value is unknown because the coins are technically illegal to be owned privately, though. Modern gold coins are sold for investment and collecting only. Even though they carry artificial denominations their actual value is based on their metal content; it would be extremely foolish to try to spend one.
