The coin is one of the many known varieties of "California Gold" coins and none are U.S. Mint products. Most of the coins are considered "Tokens" and have little or no collectible value. Some of the coins actually have gold in them but it's very low grade gold. It's best to take to a dealer or collector for a idea if it has value.
