Answer
Sorry Amanda, but it's a novelty item made by altering two regular coins and gluing the pieces back together. If you use a strong magnifier, check both sides, just inside the raised rim, for a seam where the two pieces are joined.

It has a novelty value of a couple dollars.

Expertise

My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.
