Need help with coin I'd

image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg Hello everyone hope your all enjoying this weather and swinging away finding great cool stuff whatever it may turn out to be.
I was hunting a site today again no clad a few early wheats and this coin it is the same size as a nickel but I do not think it is thinner the edged inside the rim are lined a bit any guesse image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

I hope these can help. You guys said it looked like a liberty nickel
I'm not sure the banner in the headpiece is right for a nickel
I see some letters but it looks like U.S something. I don't see any liberty there. Still puzzling me. Solved it is a toasted 1882 nickel ! Still nice

So hard to tell. Can't really see anything in the pictures but it seems to be copper so maybe a smoked farthing? Just a guess.

I had a shield nickel almost that toasted, I think I see the lines from the shield in the first pic, but I can be wrong

There is a left facing bust with a banner by headband. It looks like it says u.s To big for liberty I think. I have better photos.

I'm color blind so take this with a grain of salt...the numbers look like 1905 to me, other than that I don't see a thing. I have a couple of these that I haven't been able to identify at all myself, same size and width as a nickel, good luck with yours.
