Yep, looks like it is. That would be 1787 more likely. Congrats!

Congrats!!! Nice find!!
I like finding coppers
Can we see a better picture of the non-shield side?
i know its in bad shape but just want a better look at it
i'm thinking its a 1786 Wide Shield or a Speculative Pattern 1786.
the 1786 jersey has a horsehead/plow on the obverse and on one of the Speculatives it has a bust of George Washington on it.
from your picture it looks like i see a bust on it.

Congrats on the old copper. Always a nice feeling when a big copper coin comes out of the dirt.
