My Mood:
Without a pic I can't say for certain but I highly suspect what you have is a Chinese counterfeit of the ASE (American Silver Eagle). I don't know why but the date of 1906 is very popular for these fakes even though the coin they are copying was not minted until 1986.

I saw one of these 1906 ASEs just today in my advanced grading class at ANA Summer Seminar. One of the instructors brought in some of his counterfeit collection and the 1906 ASE was part of the collection.

BTW, if what you have is a Chinese counterfeit 1906 ASE it is worthless except as a curiosity piece. Some collectors may pay a few dollars for it to have an example of a Chinese fake.
