Hi,
What the heck is this? Can't find it in the catalog. Let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks!

This is a 2007 $1 coin, not a token.

​So it's US currency?
Just looked it up. I assume it's the proof. Looks like it.
Thanks for the help!
And people wonder why they don't stop making the $1 banknote.

Doesn't look like a proof, more like a colorized (maybe silver plated) coin. Does it have an S mint mark?

​I will look when I get home. I have it in a 2x2 card, so I will have to open it. I am guessing the Proof is not colorized by this remark. :)
Thank you for the feedback!
No, the proof has a cameo finish but under some lighting conditions could look "colorized." That's why I asked about the mint mark (unless of course, if it's a colorized proof).

Yeah, it is definitely gold colored. That's not a trick of lighting.
Would that actually be bad if it was a colorized proof? Wouldn't that ruin the Cameo finish?
If someone collects colorized coins they might like it. If someone collects proofs they would pass on it. Generally, colorizing a coin is considered PMD (post mint damage) and generally ruins the value to serious collectors. In this case, a proof may be worth ~$4 while a colorized coin is worth at a minimum $1 so not that much of a difference.

​what about reverse proofs where the background is no shinny but the design is did they just not make those for this year and design? I thought they did
No reverse proofs for these coins.

Wow. ​And we wonder why the kids at the coffee shop look at us like we have three heads when we spend these.
Well, in defense, in doesn't say Liberty or In God We Trust anywhere on the coin. It really doesn't look legit. I wouldn't accept until just now. And I am an accountant!

One often sees an inquiry which mistakes a token for a coin,
but it is rare that a coin is mistaken for a token.
