Went to a cornfield today that has given up a few coppers in the past. It's a fairly small field, as far as fields go, but it's an old field and if you put your time in there's a chance of making some good finds. Spent about four hours there and got a button, LC, a nice 2 Reales, and a coin I need your help to ID. It's the size of a nickle, and real thin. It has a bust facing right with some lettering. The back is worn smooth. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for looking. 001.JPG 002.JPG 003.JPG

The coin you described sounds like a farthing. A good close up pic would help. Awesome finds!:occasion14:

This is the best I could do for a closeup. I think Iron Patch might have IDed it though. I can see an OY at eleven o'clock. If it is a French Liard, it will be another first for me.

Thanks for the ID Iron Patch. :icon_thumleft:


Fairly easy one given how often I've seen these over the years. (found several too)

A mid. 1600s coin find in MA I think means you are on the right track.
