Great 2 days 1795 Liberty Cap LC,KGII,1864 2 cent+ More...ID HELP PLEASE

Had a great couple of days in 2 different spots
Here's a list of the better stuff I found:
1795 Liberty Cap Large Cent...my oldest LC to date
King George II....? date
189_ Indian Head
1902 Barber Quarter
1864 2 cent piece
? Date Large Cent
???COIN??? please help ID. About the size of a nickel. I see a bust with a crown (small cross on top of crown) it appears to either read (to the left of bust) ...TROY or a word ending in R followed by OF...tough to say

Also found a few colonial looking buttons and the US Mail clip which ?? was from mail bag??
Also, does any know if the 2 center is a small or large motto???

Thanks for looking!!

Man the ground is not too forgiving there is it? Still nice coins though, that 2-Center is sweet!

The best advice I can give on the unidentifiable coin is to try a hot peroxide bath to see if you can get some more detail. I can see a right-facing bust with crown and the letter "O" above the crown. My first thought was Edward VII Canadian Large Cent, but I don't think that's it.
Try to clean it up a bit and post some more pics.

If I might ask, which cleaning method did you use on the copper coins?

The 2c is certainly of the "large motto" variety.

Great finds!

Man, you East Coast hunters sure do have more history to dig than I do. I'm happy when I dig a 1907 Indian or really happy with a 1890's Barber. ;D Congrats on some nice old finds. :thumbsup:

Only warm water/dish soap. I did give the "once unknown" coin a quick peroxide bath.....I couldnt get anything off it before that.
