There never was a gold half cent coin. Gold is too valuable for such small denominations. Even at the (comparatively) low price of gold back in 1852 a half-cent made of it would have been about the diameter of a pencil eraser.

That's a half dollar coin, not half cent. If it is authentic, it is worth several hundred dollars. If it is one of the reproductions sold to tourists in the 1950s, it's still worth $15-$20.

Only 50 genuine half cents were struck with that date. If you have an 1852 half cent it's most likely a replica or a counterfeit. If it doesn't have the word REPLICA or COPY somewhere in the design you should have it checked by an expert, but be prepared to find out that it's not real.

What are the coins that have discontinued?

There are way too many to list, but here are a few of the US denominations that are no longer being made for circulation today: 1/2 cent, 2 cent piece, 3 cent piece, half-dime (worth 5 cents but was small and made out of silver), 20 cent piece, silver dollar, gold $1 coin, gold quarter eagle ($2.50), gold half eagle ($5), gold eagle ($10), gold double eagle ($20), gold half-union ($50) Some of these coins are still being produced today as commemorative/bullion coins such as silver dollars and gold coins, but their collector value (and their metal value) far exceed face value.
