Just a super long shot in the dark, but was this coin found close to a railroad track?
 
No... i found it where horse carraiges would go at a church.. the sides are thick like a quater. i thought that at first as well
 
Looks like a right facing bust, but not sure...maybe a British Copper KG 111? They were made between 1770 and 1775. Only thing is the bust doesn't look quite right? Great find.
 
there looks like a big one or A I on the back . im cleaning it with vegtable oil.. also may look like a tree of some sort im not sure ill have to take it to a coin shop, im confused now i see a 613 on this coin so far
 
Ok im getting it slowly cleaned the side hat looks like george has a eagle sitting. so it cant be a george coin

Well, if you've put vegetable oil on the coin, then peroxide method won't work now... :-\
