1933 and earlier gold coins are 90% precious metal. In average condition their retail value is determined by the current price of gold; a metal dealer will pay less.
Look on the back of the coin to see if there's a small mint mark letter below the eagle. It may be blank or there may be an S.
Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 07/2012:
No mint mark (Philadelphia):
Very worn condition - $444
Moderately worn - $468
Slightly worn - $480
Almost no wear - $509
Uncirculated - $534 to $7,610 depending on quality

DISCLAIMER: The retail values quoted are the best available as of the date shown, but may vary significantly due to changes in the precious metals market.
