Broke out of the slump, first colonial copper in a while. Any help on ID?

coinman123 · Jul 12, 2015

I went out today to a new spot, after an hour and a half I left after not finding anything. I decided to drive to my trusty spot and after hunting there, my buddy went to a 1920's trash pile there and I decided to metal detecting 100 feet from a stream. I got a signal that I figured was a shotgun shell and dug. There it was, my first colonial copper since May 30th. My copper count since 2014 is now up to 15.

Any help with ID? It looks like a King Charles II Copper but I am not sure. Thinner than most coppers too.

Hard to see French maybe? Not British anyways

Not sure if french, the bust does not seem to match any of the ones in my collection.

Looks like a 1790's French 12 Deniers to me. Hard to tell but the eye really seems to match. The 12 Deniers might be the wrong denomination, but I think the bust is right.

Maybe, the 1792 12 denier I bought from my coin shop is way thicker with an edge design though, the bust is slightly different too.
