The coin I have reads 1929 31st president u.s.a. 1933 with Herberts name at bottom around the edge of obverse, the reverse reads,The Great Human Engineer around the edge at top and Sponsored Navy Treasury Control at bottom.There appears to be no "mfg" date or "coin value" printed, is light in weight ....and a magnet doesn't stick to it.Obviously I'm very new at this.... Can anybody tell me what I might have? Thanks, Trish :)

It sounds like one of a series of privately-issued Presidential medals. It most likely isn't solid gold; it'll probably be either brass or at best gold-plated.

I understand that gas stations back in the 1960s and 1970s gave out medals like these.
