I just got a phone call over this coin. I was told by this collector that he couldn't tell one way or another from just the picture. He said it's probably a "fake or token coin" The indian head wasn't introduced on the dollar coin until 1858-9 before then it was a Liberty head with a type of headress. I saw the same thing in pictures and descriptions on different websites.. He did say, if you really want a serious answer, to look up a credited coin dealer / collector in your area and let them take a good look at it in person.
His website http://www.usrarecoininvestments.com/ Tom Pilitowski was the gentlemans name.
I searched yesterday just as a kind of quest. I really got nowhere. I looked at countless pictures and never once saw one that looked like this completely. Now I did see a number of coins similiar in design. They weren't dollar coins. There were also a number of coins you could "combine" to make this coin. (did that make sense?) Take the head from a penny, the back from a nickle, the date and dollar from a dollar.. etc.. etc.. You get my drift..
Sorry I couldn't have been more help. I think just hang onto it and check it out when you can.

Find out!! Now I'm curious! Take it to a dealer. It's got to be something.

Doesn't the US mint examine and authenticate coins?
Only thing about the US mint is if the coin turns out to be fake, you'll get a call from the Secret Service telling you that your coin about to be made into a ashtray

QuoteThank you for the inquiry. The coin you have is not a U.S. Mint issue rather a private mint issue
that uses design elements from a number of U.S. coins like the Indian Head Cent. Currently this
piece has no numismatic value.
