Craig,

Pull that screw out and look at it. It looks like the head may just be discolored.
The screws that retained the gold caps were machine thread. Vs. a wood thread.
And also, if you feel that the cap originally would have had a gold inlay, there will also be corrosion signatures left in the wood from the 2 rivets on the underside of the old cap. If all looks no different than any other cap, then it likely did not have gold on it.
