I know they're not worth anything but I think maybe someday they may be. The only reason I think they may be worth something in the future is because it may be one of the first replica's of a pattern coin. Any thoughts? Any thoughts of who made these? The grade? http://www.viswiki.com/en/Goloid

1887 Goloid Dollar Name:1878 pattern dollar. GOLOID METRIC. Description:Goloid alloy (5.26% gold, 84.74 silver, 10.00 copper). Reeded edge. Metric weight system. Obverse with a head of Liberty to left, Phrygian cap and agricultural flora atop her head. Reverse with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 100 CENTS, and a starry circle. A splendid gem Proof with frosty motifs and mirrored fields that form a pleasing cameo contrast (though this is not mentioned on the holder). Mainly brilliant silver with whispers of pale champagne iridescence on both sides. An altogether pleasing coin that was deemed suitable for inclusion in the Louis E. Eliasberg Collection, and a coin that will be a highlight in the next collection it adorns.The goloid alloy consisted of 24 parts silver for every part gold by weight, and several different varieties of pattern goloid dollars were struck circa 1878-1880. The variety offered here is the "metric” weight variety; another variety is known as the "English” variety, with the reverse of that issue bearing the weights at the center in grains rather than grams (as offered in the present specimen).

Heck your goloid looks better than mine, yours seems to have a cameo look to it. Well I didn't even know the Chinese were making goloid coins, finding that out just made mine seem like an unwanted step child. Just kidding of course! Oh well, live and learn. Glad I didn't spend too much on it!
