Looked at provident metals but they are out of stock on all their $5 gold coins so show no prices.

Looking at ONES THAT SOLD on eBay, they have sold anywhere from $320 in VF condition to $2578 in MS64. No real way to tell without a reliable grading.

Condition condition condition.

It is worth what the government printed on it, $5. I am a good sport and will give you $10 if you cover shipping.

Likely $500

If you're looking at buying it or trading for it, the first thing I would do is to make sure it's real gold. Acid test and weight are a couple of different methods to check.

If it's real, the gold, not including any collectability value, is worth $322.00 as of today's close.

Numismatic value is always higher than melt
It's true that, at melt, date is irrelevant
I assumed you didn't consider the coin "junk jewelry"
