What is this coin?

I found this yesterday at a yard sale in a huge box of jewelry. It's pretty cool looking but I don't think it's silver. Is it worth anything? Or just a novelty? It is dated 1906.

It is a 1906 Barber Half Dollar with Lady Liberty impressed for relief and gold plated.

That's really cool. How much did you pay?

At this point, it's just a novelty. If it hadn't been modified, it might have had some collector value depending on what it graded, but, now it's anybody's guess as to how much someone would pay for it.

I bought a large box of Jewelry at a yard sale. There was enough to fill a laundry basket and this was in it. I saw some that sold on eBay but I think they were real Coins this when I don't believe is a real silver coin.

It might be a genuine U.S. silver coin, and like Diver Down said, gold plated. What is the diameter? Any plating missing or worn off?

The front scared me a bit. I thought it was an actual gold 5-10$ piece...LOL.
Until I saw the notorious eagle that's on barber's on the back.
