    Welcome to CoinTalk, Andy.

    Your gold bullion coin (American Gold Eagle) is .9167 gold (22 karat). It does have a bit of silver in it as well as copper. I'm not sure where you got the idea one side is 50% gold and the other side is 50% silver. We don't make coins like that in the US.

    It's the aftermarket holder Hobo. On one side of it the gold coin is visible, on the other side the silver coin.
