I never get bored hunting my yard when I have a bit of extra time, and am always surprised at what turns up even after exploring much of the land. Thinking it was another gunshot shell I was happy to be wrong and dig an Indian head penny. I learned there were 3 different versions minted in that year. I don’t know which version this is..copper-nickel or bronze and it does not look like there is an ”L” inscribed. It weighs 2.85 grams. I used toothpicks and Andres pencils to clean it, otherwise it looked like a gob of dirt. Glad to share my story with folks who are interested!
