It is worth whatever the gold price is. I'm assuming you have a US 1 oz gold eagle. If you do indeed have a one ounce gold eagle it is worth whatever 1 troy ounce of gold is worth. At the time of writing your coin would be worth about $1350. However, the price of gold fluctuates on a minute by minute basis.
If it were in its original condition it would be worth at least a couple of dollars. But the gold plating makes it an altered piece with no value other than that of the underlying copper-nickel coin, 50 cents.
To find the price of a coin, it much be determined what country the currency is from. The American 50 dollar Gold Liberty Walking Eagle coin can be purchased for roughly $1550.00 American.
Typically those types of coins are generally worth market value of gold. The 50 dollar coin is 1 troy ounce of gold, so therefore around $1400 as of late December of 2010.
it depends.. i know the pendants are over a grand though.

Unless the cashier is a coin collector, probably not. They won't know whether the coin is really gold or a replica, and they won't know if it is legal tender, and likely will not accept it. It wouldn't be a good idea to spend gold on gas anyway, really. You could get much more than face value for an authentic $50 gold coin.
The weight of a 50-dollar coin can vary depending on the country and the specific coin design. For example, in Canada, the 50-dollar coin, often referred to as the "Gold Maple Leaf," weighs 31.1 grams (1 ounce) and is made of pure gold. In other countries, the specifications may differ. Always check the specific coin's details for accurate information.

Please look at the coin again and post new question. The U.S. never released a $50 gold coin dated 1915.
