What is it? Is it Rare?

[Unitedstatesofamerica1]

There was 452,000 of them made and they are silver.
The one I found is not silver it's either gold or bronze.
There is a difference between them both but it supposed to be the same coin.
The bow, flowers, crown, and the six.
I was just wandering why are they different?
They are the same coin.

I know practically nothing about coins, and for those who do, this is probably a dumb question, but... Could the bronze one have been some sort of prototype or something for the silver coins? Just a way to check to see if it looked right before investing the silver?

I just thought of something else. Gold does not tarnish, so that is out. But silver DOES. I'm wondering if this is just a very badly tarnished silver coin -- not bronze at all.

maybe a reproduction or fantasy piece

I think it's bronze because I have a coin from 1805 that is silver with tarnish on it and looks nothing like the one here. It's more yellow.
