Spend few hours in the wind today. Got about 20 Wheaties, 1 1899 indian, 1916 barber dime and a large copper (trying to ID). The large copper has a left facing head and the reverse looks like a seated liberty? Any ideas what this could be. I'm trying to gently get some of the dirt off but the coin seems very fragile. Thanks for looking.

I don't think I'll be able to get a date on this toasty copper, you say it's in the range 1729-1754?
