It's a George Washington Dollar coin. And it's worth...um... a dollar.

Nice find - especially in the first hole!

Coins only worth $1. They are gold plated at first but once have been in the ground for a long time. They turn into coppy color. I know this because at my work we have some of these in our tills pop up at times and since I am a coin collector/ metal detectorist. I usually look for these types of coins.

Yep, those dollar coins bring the clad totals pretty quick. I like digging them up on the beach, still have the original goldish color.
