Your bullet appears to be a "copper-jacketed" lead bullet. That type was invented in Switzerland in 1882, and was adopted for US military service sometime around 1890. Yours was most probably manufactured in the first half of the 20th-century, but dating it more precisely is impossible without knowing its caliber, because Copper-jacketed bullets are still being manufactured today. We need an extremely precise measurement of the diameter of your bullet's undamaged base to figure out its caliber.

I can't find anything on "Serendipity Shop" in College Station. Maybe you can clean up the token a little more and find a manufacturer on it. To me it looks like a 1970's or 80's promotional token - but I'm just guessing.
