1859 Indian head cent, oops, back looks like one anyway. IDK seein the front

Does that ring around the head look natural? And about what size is the coin, about the size of a penny? Dime?

 

[seger98]

Just looked through my coin book, I don't believe that is a U.S. coin.

Looks a bit like a French 10 centimes, c. 1870-98.

For plucking such an old coin out of your landlords yard, it looks like you have an awesome area to hunt! I would pound that spot to death!
