Go to Ebay. To gold coins and check out some of their prices. On their coins for the dates and weight and condition.

Does your coin look the the photos in the PCGS link below? If so, it is a US Mint (Philadelphia) product rather than a California product. It is made primarily of copper rather than gold. Coin Value depends on rarity and condition. In typical heavily circulated condition, an 1855 1/2 cent would retail for about $55. A dealer might pay 60% to 70% of that amount to buy.

California small denomination gold was made in quarter dollar,half dollar and dollar, there is no 1/2 cent. They were made from 1852-1882. They are dated and have the words cents or dollar on them. Many were made for jewelry in the later years and may or may not have a date. There are also a lot of fakes out there, plus pieces made to commemorate something or to be used in modern jewelry.. You need to see a local coin dealer who knows this type item, he will have books on the subject, many dealers don't deal in this type of item. A pro in this field is Donald Kagin his web site is kagins.com.
