✅ SOLVED copper coin I.D.

[litefire56]

I found this in my backyard yesterday while just playing around. Didn't even have my headphones on. My house isn't too old, built in 1960 in a sub-division in IL.
The coin is just slightly larger than a quarter, a bit thinner and is copper. I scratched the edge
to confirm this. In the first pic you can see a bust facing right and appears to be female. The coin has a series of dots around the perimeter. The back or 2nd pic is rotated slightly to the left and has
a large #2 at the bottom. Some type of rays or design in the middle and a capital C and E to the
upper right where there is no corrosion.

Yup! Strange how corroded it is >.> I have a copper coin 250 years older than that that's in better shape!

I agree with Iron Patch pics. Too bad on its' shape. Real nice find.

Wow, I'm happy to see this solved, but shocked about the condition for the age. Must be more of a Zinc composition
than a copper. Thought it may have been my oldest yet.

Thanks for time invested IP to ID it !

It's looks like salt water or some chemical got it.... pretty bad indeed for a modern coin.

The only time it took me was to search and upload a pic because I knew it was Queen Elizabeth and could see the 2 on the reverse.
