it is almost definitely gold plated.there were no gold planchets at the mint at that time that I know of. your only 100% positive answer will come when images can be provided.
it wasnot used in jewelery though, it has been in a plastic case for years.... and if it was plated it would look more even with no tarnishing... could it be some type of weird patenation?
