Hello,
If you can post a picture of the coin it would be a great help.

 

trying to take picture of its just not working to good

 

im not getting a very good picture of it at all ill try to get one posted but it looks the same as a regular indian head only silver and the head is gold its dated 1906 i compared it next to a regular 1906 and its the same

 

I agree with GDJMSP it was most likely for jewelery.

 

There are a few indian head cents known struck on quarter eagle planchets. Being struck on a silver dime is also possible. However the VAST majority of these are just plated coins with no collector value. A quick check of the weight will tell you. On a dime planchet weight would be 2.5 grams, regular cent or plated 3.11 grams, quarter eagle planchet 4.18 grams.

 

Most likely just a dicorative thing as noted for jewelry purposes.
