I cant tell from your image but try to look at the date again. Is it possibly 1986? https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1493.html
I have a second one:


I will look at the 'coins' carefully
Thanks

They are real U.S bullion coins but those could be really bad fakes if the are dated 1906. They are bullion coins and not circulated so they should be in very good shape. The images you provided are really poor and hard to make sense of exactly what you have. Good luck.
Definitely not a 1986, does look like a poor fake of that coin. Your coin is missing a few of the sun rays, the way the letters of "In God We Trust" line up with eachother is off. The shield on the eagle has an extra line, etc.
There is no doubt about being bad fakes, they do not pass any silver test, diameter 39mm and 25,8gr
The details are too crude to be real.
I was just the date that puzzled me

​Hello,

The 1906 dated fake ASEs are very well known; I even bought one myself back when I was 12 years old and still a noob at this whole collecting stuff. 0:)

The first ASEs did not come out until 1986, so there is a real coin like that one, just not one dated 1906:

Side note; this American silver commemorative also dated 1986 for the Statue of Liberty's Centennial, has also been faked with a 1906 date- possibly to get around anti-counterfeiting laws?
More play money made out of muck metal.

Knew coming back to the identification thread was silly.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.
