This is one of the few coins I have that is this old and in such fine shape and of course it's American. I used to have a less desirable one, but with this there's no need. It was struck in 1893 for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Some were sold at a premium at the fair, others were thrown into circulation, and the rest were melted. Not many survived in perfect condition making the near-perfect specimens worth $1,000+. Unfortunately my coin is AU which means it's worth $17.00.
