Got this today and I'm not sure what I have. Anyone know if it's unique or just nothing. Any information would be awesome.
(The back is silver and the front is gold/silver.)

Hmm how do you know it's silver? or do you mean it's silver color? If so then it's likely been plated and the plating may be wearing causing a showing of a gold underneath.

Isn't it just a 1989 Loonie dollar made of nickel with the bronze plating worn off ?

Worth about a dollar.

I still believe it was a home science project gone awry... I say "still" because this individual posted this on kijiji and I answered it there.... but hopefully someone else can shed some better light on this.

looks like someone tried to chemically strip the bronze plating.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...
