Yes it is and all so the first year issue for the Liberty Head type large cent.
Two Proof sets were issued in 1960 the only difference is the Lincoln cent, one set has a large date cent and the other is a small date cent. Retail value of the large date is $23.00 the small date is $33.00 the numeral 0 is smaller then normal for the small date.
Unfortunately the 1842 Braided Hair Large cent has small and large date varieties and values are different. The actual grade of the coin also effects value. If the coin falls into the grade of Extremely Fine, values are $60.00-$72.00 depending on type.

Take a good look at the coin again, the US has NEVER made a gold one cent coin of any size or date. It likely has been cleaned & polished giving it a very bright surface. The 1830 US large cent is 100% copper.
Small cents were not made in 1824. Your coin is called a large cent. Post a new question with the date, country and condition of the coin.
$30 to $10,000 depending whether it is large date or small date or an 1820 date struck over an 1819 date and upon the condition of the coin.
No US quarters were struck in 1816.If your coin has a race car on it - something that didn't exist in 1816! - look at the date near the bottom rim; it'll be 2002 because the coin is a State Quarter honoring Indian, which joined the Union in 1816.
Please post a new question with the coin's date. Large Cents were made from 1793 to 1857 so without a date it's not possible to provide an estimated value.
U.S. Large cents were issued from 1793-1857, the date on the coin will help identify which series it is. Post new question with more information.
It means that the coin is rare. For example a 1909-S VDB cent is a key date. This coin is rare.
For 1960 proof sets there are 2 kinds a large date & small date. This refers to the 1 cent coin only in both sets. Large date retail value is $20.00 and the small date is $35.00.
If the coin is not uncirculated spend it, even Mint State examples are less than 15 cents.
