Been looking on-line and have come up short, anyone know what it is and maybe a link for more info on it? Thanks for all your help!!
 
Looks like a US Army insignia pin to me.
 
View link at bottom of this post for your one stop shop website for positive ID of your collar disc. Yours is made between 1910-1924.
The back of yours would have looked just like this....

This forum explains that these collar discs were very short lived, from 1918 to 1920.
