Here is a auction site that has the different varieites for that year and you should be able to compare their photos to your coin and come up with a variety.
I used this site to get the varieties of the two I found early this year. Seems like the key to IDing them is the alignment and spacing comparing the banner and letter in E PLURIBUS UNUM with the letters above. Also of course spacing on the date and distances between features.

So that's the church you were talking about Jim !

It's beautiful.

Nice finds!

Why would musketballs be an odd find at a church that old? People carried weapons Everywhere they went back then. For hunting and defense. It could be that during wartime some troops stood guard at that church. It's hard to know--but old lead turns up just about everywhere.

Nice finds!

Nice coins. I still don't understand why you are posting pics of your site that could give away where that rare 1813 Bust half was found. If I lived on the North Fork, I would know exactly where you were hunting now. Just go to the woods in the back of the church...
