The 1878 Goloid dollars were pattern coins, 3 different types were minted in very small numbers but none were released into circulation. Many replicas and copy's are known to exist. If you actually have one, I'm 99.9% sure it's not authentic so a value is not possible. It needs to be seen, take it to a collector or dealer for an assessment.
NOTE: Authentic metric goloid coins have a minimum value of $2,500.00
"Goloid is an alloy of silver, gold and copper patented by Dr. William Wheeler Hubbell on May 22, 1877 (U.S. patent #191,146). The patent specifies 1 part gold (about 3.6%), 24 parts silver (about 87.3%), and 2.5 parts copper (about 9.1%, all by weight); however, the patent also states that "The proportions may be slightly varied" and goes on to specify that the silver portion can range from 20 times to 30 times that of the gold, and the copper could range from one-eighth to one-twelfth (from 12.5% to 8.33%) of the total mixture. The patent specifies that the metals be separately melted, then mixed, along with "sulphate of sodium or sulphate of potassium" in the amount of one part sulfate to one thousand parts metal. The alloy, in varying proportions (sometimes slightly out of these specifications), was used by the United States Mint to strike pattern dollars, sometimes called "metric dollars" (some were marked with "metric" in the coin design, while all had metal proportions and total coin weight as design features) from 1878 to 1880. Patterns of the same design were struck in other metals, including aluminum, copper, normal coin silver, lead, and white metal. In the end, goloid was rejected as a coinage metal because it could not be distinguished from the normal U.S. 90% silver coin alloy without chemical analysis, thus inviting counterfeiters to use silver-copper alloys alone to make lower-value copies."
No. At the moment the price of copper is US$7,230 per metric tonne. The price of silver is about US$28.10 per Troy ounce, which is US$899,000 per metric tonne. Silver is about 124 times the price of copper.

If you are referring the the US Standards of numbers, weights and measurements, I believe that We are the only ones. Most of the rest of the World uses the Metric System.
Early 1900s covers more than a decade, so I have chosen 1910 for this answer. The average price of housing in 1910 was about 5% of today's cost. For example, if you are talking about a $100,000 house in the Ozarks, then it would have cost about $5,000 in 1910. On the other hand, if the house in the Ozarks (or generally anywhere in the US for this particular inflation metric) is on the water with a boat dock and a brand new granite-top island kitchen costing $500,000, then it would have cost about $25,000 in 1910.
The value of an 1878 liberty goloid metric dollar with the denomination shown as 100 cents is determined by its scarcity and the condition it is in. A real goloid coin in great condition is worth around US$3000.HOWEVER . . . you should have your coin checked by an expert to make sure it's genuine. Goloid dollars have been and are being widely counterfeited.What is a goloid dollar?"Goloid" is an alloy containing silver, copper, and a small amount of gold. These were made to test a concept for coins that would match a European value standard. All are patterns, i.e. experimental coins that were never put in circulation.
From your description, it may be a 1878 Goloid Metric Dollar. This is a pattern coin, three different types were struck but none were released for circulation. Many replicas are known and authentic coins are rare. A certified example is valued at $2,500.00 or more.
yes view both sides
To determine the exact value of an 1878 Goloid metric coin, a few different factors would need to be considered. Some of these factors would be the authenticity and condition of the coin.

The Goloid metric dollar was minted by the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia as a pattern coin, but it was not a typical silver dollar. Goloid was an alloy that consisted of gold, silver and copper. The pattern coins were produced with varying amounts of gold and silver in the coins and the alloy was patented by Dr. William Wheeler Hubbell of Philadelphia. The idea was to replace all our silver coinage with goloid coins. But for various reasons, the goloid coins were never approved and the idea was dropped.

IF the coin is genuine, auction prices have ranged from a couple of thousand dollars to over 50K for top-line specimens. However there are many copies, replicas, and outright counterfeits so you'd need to have the coin authenticated.
no
The United States of America is one of the few nations who have not adopted the metric system.
