Looks like Liberty on a $10 or $5 Gold Piece

Is it yellow like gold or weight anything close to a US gold piece?

If that is a 1861 D Coronet Head My Krause book says it's one of 1,597 and a $3000 coin.

The picture is too blurry. Is there a mint mark?

Sure as hell looks like a $5 gold piece... but that should be about 8 grams.....

Lemme say, sure as HELL looks like a Half Eagle.
