Can't figure out what this Walker is.fake??..Pictures included

Hi I have been coin roll hunting for a couple of years. I have been often review the forums but never posted here. Anyway I came across this Walking Liberty yesterday from a half dollar box and I have no clue where it came from. I was on the end of a roll and when I popped it open I was scratching my head on the thinness of the coin. The back of the coin looks real but the front is smooth and had some type of glue or something on it. I included pictures. I am hoping someone can tell me where this came from. In the last picture the coin in question is on the left.

looks real, probably cut or planed down to fit in some kind of jewelry bezel or such device, it has a hole in the center to correct?

If it's silver it's probably real, but was machined in two to form a "trick" coin (e.g. two tails glued together) with another?

Yes there is a hole in the middle of it.

Its from a pocket watch, hence the hole drilled in the middle
Look up "half dollar watch" on goolgle

Thanks silver64! Looks like that is what it is. I wonder if someone cracked opened a watch (maybe broken watch) to pull out this coin. Has anyone ever come across one of these coins while coin roll hunting?

I came across one that I took out of a Kennedy Half dollar bill clip, it had nice toning on the coin and only the reverse was showing, it ended up being like yours, not really worth the $8 I spent on it.... Fun gamble though.

Closest I ever came to something like that was when I was cleaning an apartment out after a tenant, I found two cufflinks with merc dimes for bezels.

Silver is silver though.
