It's a fake American Silver Eagle . They didn't make any with that date '' 1906 '' .  probably a cast . Edited by T-BOP

That's not a 1906 it's either a 1986 or 1986 American silver eagle. In the condition that's it in, if it's real it's worth about $17-$18. It's only worth it's silver value if it has any.

The forger intentionally or perhaps unintentionally used a 0 instead of an 8 in the date. These can be purchased for $1-$2 each from (unnamed) Chinese websites, which clearly indicates they contain no or almost no silver. |

Nss-52, you are way over paying for your fakes, these show up for 50 cents each at the local swap meet where I live.

It's a cheapo metal disk from China, which means it most likely has all matter of toxic substances in it. Lead? Arsenic? Antimony? Take your pick. As long as they make a profit they could care less what's in it. You ever hear stories of things coming out of China with lead in them? Lead's been banned in the U.S. for decades.
I refuse to call this a fake, as there are no real coins like this with this date.

I have a like 20 yard roll of sheet lead I use for modeling. Now, its been banned from being used in things like pipes and paint and gas. But not just flat out banned. OP, as mentioned, a complete and really bad fake. Chuck it in the garbage. Not even worth the effort to keep it. |

This is quite clearly a counterfeit. Deceptive only to those who are not familiar with U.S. bullion coins. These come to the US in an industrial scale smuggling operation. For years the authorities did not closely scrutinize fake coins coming in because of the low face value on the coins. It took the ACTF and the work of several leaders in the hobby to change the direction of law enforcement on the importation of these fakes. Sadly, they are still available for sale on major online shopping platforms overseas.

Best case it's a sliver round, which is a coin meant to look like a real coin that contains an ounce of silver. Sadly, though, this looks more like a Chinese fake. Assuming it is the size of a genuine American Eagle, you should be able to weigh it and find out. An ounce of pure silver should weigh 31.101 grams.
