I do believe the coin to be real. Any thoughts?
It's got 2 things going against it. It is a jewelry piece, and it is soldered, aka damaged. ANACS will grade this coin. I do not think that they will remove the solder, however. You'll have to take care of that and then submit it for authentication. If you want to get more than bullion value for it, this is probably your best option. The $3 gold pieces are tough to come by and it should sell for a good premium even if the slab says, "Details: solder damage, jewelry piece" or something like that. I've seen ANACS slabbed $5 gold "jewelry" coins sell for more than scrap price at auctions. I think the important part is getting it in a slab, which will cost you about $40 all said and done, but should increase the selling price dramatically more.
Brick and mortar shop: buy, sell, and trade anything precious- coins, bullion, scrap, jewelry, gems, etc.
