1 Dolar 1910 I Gold ?

Hello american fellows,

I'm from Portugal but I collect coins from all over the world. Recently I found this "coin", among many others, in my passed away grandpa collection. I found a so small coin (13,6 mm diameter) very curious, but I didn't found any information about it anywhere until I find this forum.

So, this "coin" can be considered a "token" from the beginning of the 20th century? And why my "coin" don't have a single atom of gold?

I think it is all in copper and have a remnant of silver welding near to the "ES" of "STATES", who makes me believe this is, in fact, for jewelry purposes.

Thank you for your opinions and forgive me my poor english.

to the forum.

To start off, your "coin" is definitely a fake.
A jewelry piece, not a token.

The coin in the pic mimics an American Type 1 gold dollar, which was minted from 1849 to 1854.
It was likely plated with gold and fit in a bezel or something to be used as jewelry. I can see the remnants of the gold that's left on the surfaces after most of it has worn off due to heavy usage of it.
