Best Answer

There were no "Trade Dollars" produced in 1871. The first year of mintage was 1873.

However there are large numbers of counterfeit dollars on the market. Many are made in the Far East. The quality ranges from very accurate fakes that can fool experts to laughably bad "coins" with impossible dates and/or designs.

What is the value of an 1871 gold US half dollar?

Not gold, but gold-plated. The US never issued a gold half-dollar, plus in any case a coin that large made of gold would have been worth about $20 in 1871. Unfortunately the plating has destroyed most of its collectible value. You may be able to find someone willing to pay extra for it as a curiosity however.

It's a Trade Dollar not a Morgan dollar. If you look at the back of the coin, the phrase "Trade Dollar" is under the eagle. As to value, take it to a coin dealer for an assessment it may not be genuine. The entire series is known to have had copy's and fakes made.
