It's a novelty coin made specifically for the novice magician and for those who want to know the outcome when they flip a coin. Such a coin demonstrates the need to always look at both sides of the coin when someone offers to flip a coin to make a decision.

You'd be 32 years old.
You would be 31 years old.
Trust me, it is not authentic. The 1979 dies were destroyed 13 years before the 1993 dies were made.
A Jefferson half dollar would be a real find, because Jefferson is on the nickel and JFK is on the half dollar. Regardless, a 1979 nickel is worth 5¢ and a 1979 half is worth exactly 10 times as much.
1979 was the first year of the Susan B. Anthony dollar. Hundreds of millions were minted, and it's worth exactly one dollar.
They're both only worth face value.
it's definitely not worth breaking the letter opener to get it out. it's a common date and has no precious metal in it.
"Eagle" generally refers to a $10 gold coin, but those were not minted in 1979. The only coin bigger than a half dolar, minted in 1979, is the Susan B. Anthony Dollar. Is that what you have? If it's a double headed coin, then it's a novelty item, not made by the Mint, worth a couple dollars. Dan

In circulated condition, 5 cents. Huge numbers were minted. A nice uncirculated one might be worth all of 30 cents.
1979 would make it a Susan B. Anthony dollar coin, which is still only worth one dollar. And it's not made of silver, but rather 91.67% copper and 8.33% nickel.
If such a coin existed it would be exceedingly valuable, but all 1979 halves are made of copper-nickel and are only worth 50 cents.
Five cents.
