Looks like it was plated. It looks real to me. Maybe struck on a Rolled Thin Planchet, causing the weight to be low.

1880s version of a colorized coin? Unfortunately, that strips it of numismatic value.

 Damaged now. Keep it as a novelty. |

Agree, appears plated and has little value in this state.

@MyhobbyCC342  - Modified (plated) Indian Head. Perhaps keep it for conversation purposes. |

coin is genuine but some dumb dumb thought it would be cool to plate an AU IHC destroying the numismatic value (just another common cull IHC worth ~$1.50) |

Yep .... looks to be genuine, it does. Likely, it was housed in a bezel as a jewelry item' this, to commemorate 1886 as a significant year for someone. For some years, I collected coins like this one, coins that had been repurposed, so to speak. Some were jewelry items. Others were converted into knives, box coins, belt buckles, tie clasps, box coins ( Trade dollars), etc. It made for quite a display. |
