Looks like a WWI US Army collar disc. The emblem is "The Great Seal of the United States". For a detached enlisted soldier.

what is on the other side? i have a token (car wash i think) that has the same design on the reverse.

 

[hollowpointred]

on second thought yours is slightly different. heres mine. mine has stars along the bottom where yours does not.

On the other side is a threaded stud where it once had a nut to attach it to something and nothing else just smooth.I will get a picture of the back if it helps. Thanks in advance!!! contractorod.

 

[hollowpointred]

oh, a threaded rod. maybe its a hat pin?

 

[contractorod]

Yeah maybe so or its a collar disk like nhbenz said. contractorod.

Its 1 1/2 it looks pretty old i found it at about 6".

The background definitely looks like one of the patterns (diamonds and dots) used on Type II U.S. Army collar disks, c. 1926-37. "Great Seal" collar disks were worn by unassigned enlisted men.
