Fifty cents. There have never been any genuine gold half dollars issued even when gold coins were struck for circulation, and that was only before 1933. Your coin was plated for use in jewelry or something similar.
The $5 gold coin, called a Half Eagle, was minted continously from 1795 through 1916 and then again 1929. In 1986 the US Mint began production of the $5 American Gold Eagle bullion coins and continues to produce them today. Each of these coins has its own value and that value is based, in part, upon the year it was minted. In order to establish an estimated value for your coin, it will be necessary to know in which year it was minted so it can be properly identified.
No, it's a coin that's worth 50 cents.
The plating adds nothing to the value of the coin, but if you find someone that wants it, sell it.
The coin is only face value.
