Not sure if this is what you have or not, but back in the 1800s there was a fake dollar gold coin that was attached to a watch chain acting somewhat as a watch fob.

The real one dollar gold coins had a '1', then under the '1' was the word 'dollar' and under the word 'dollar' was the date. I'd call yours more a fantasy piece than a counterfeit or fake.

Thanks for the reply. I think you got it. It has marks at top and bottom that could have been from being attached to something. This site is so cool when one needs answers. Thanks everyone. Kevin

I agree that it was part of a costume bracelet

Six years later is a little late to add to the discussion but; I just dug the EXACT same thing thismorning in Bucks County PA. Complete with small snip marks from loops!

I don't think I would want to find a fake one be a big downer. Good news you've come closer to one than most of us lol

Some one dug up a mummy 6 year old post. One was found and posted day before yesterday. Same question same answer/ Yes a replica and fake.

I have been racking my brain, I knew I had see these before. Coin bracelet/belt. This one is from an older one but they are still sold. They are stamped tin now. Very cool in the hippie days.
