Hello. Welcome to the forum. Your coin is a private mint example of the bicentenial of NJ. These types of coins and/or tokens usually sell at the shows for just a few dollars.
Welcome aboard. If the markings are correct and it really is 18k gold, the melt value is $182.63 if it's 5/8 of a troy ounce, or $200.25 if it's 5/8 of an avoirdupois ounce. IMHO that puts the numismatic value at no more than $190-$210, although a New Jersey history freak might go a little higher.
Most of these private minted items from MEDALLIC ART CO. are clad with layed gold. Now if the particular piece is not marked, it should be viewed by a dealer. If you can post a good pic of the item, that would help also.
Measure the piece - both diameter & thickness. Then we can tell you if it is plated gold or solid since we already know the weight & fineness. But I'm betting on plated.
