I would say 50 cents...unless 1909 is a super rare year in coin collecting or something. Then it could be worth a lot. But don't take my word for it.
The mint mark for the 1909 Half Eagle is located on the reverse {eagle} side of the coin just to the left of the arrow points.
if it is very fine condition $200. mint state condition and higher $450+
Be more specific no 1922 half dollars were struck
