gold. to be more specific, Au U.S. circulating gold coins contained 10% copper because gold is too soft by itself to stand up to normal wear. Modern bullion coins are nearly pure gold, either 99.9% or 99.99%. These don't circulate and are kept in special packages so there's no need to harden them.

Depends on what the coin is made out of. The coin has absolutely no collector value because it wasn't made by the US Mint. Any value comes from the material the coin was made out of. If the coin was gold plated, it would be worth a couple cents at most. If the coin was solid gold, it would be worth the value of the gold, but no more.
