What a find of a lifetime! 
Very cool. 
I was wondering ... in comparison to a penny, how big is it?

Thanks. The Type I gold dollar is the smallest(width wise) coin ever produced by the US mint. Its 13mm wide compared to a penny at 19mm. The 3 cent silver(trime) is 14mm

I think many of those $1.00 gold coins weren't used much,
because of they were such small coins, (smaller than a dime)
many were made into jewelry.
So if you find one, it may very well be in good condition
Unless it's like the one I found that was made into a pin,
with a pin hasp brazed on the reverse side,
I cannot see the mint mark.....
