Looks like a Canadian or British large penny from late 1800s. Nice find

Nice find Captain! Try taking a flat picture of it - the angle shots are hard to see all the lines on the coin.

Looking forward to a positive ID on his coin. At first glance that reverse does not look like the Canadien LC's that I am familiar with. Congrats on a nice find.

Nice find!

I believe it is Canadian, possibly British, but definitely a penny.

Canadian.

The reverse is NOT a Canadian LC. Searching....

That's Queen Victoria.

Looks like a good one to me, Canadian by what all the others are saying.

Nice call Ironhorse, you nailed it. It looks like the age range for that Jamaican half penny is 1869-1900.

Not "all" others, Mr Digger in post #5 didn't agree with Canadian.
This is another prime example of just because "most" agree on something doesn't make it so.

Thanks guys that definitely is the coin.

 

[Mr. Digger]

Nice ID. I was pretty sure that would not end up to be a Canadian LC.
