What is a holed LC? The only thing i. Can make out is the letter c there doesn't appear to be anything on the reverse side . What would be the best way to clean it up a bit so I can try to see what's on it?

A holed LC is an LC with a hole in it. Since the hole is in the center, I would guess it was for a nail like home made retainer etc.

Wellll… except for the incredibly rare 1793 version, a US Large Cent coin measures 28-to-29mm (approximately 1-&-3/8 inches) in diameter. Also, it was a little bit thicker than a modern-era US penny. (You didn't say anything about the thickness/thin-ness of the disc you found.) You can easily confirm whether or not it actually is a US Large Cent by doing precise measuring.
Then, please tell us the result, so the folks here will know whether or not their guess about its ID was correct.

I'd go with large cent too. I think I see some details of the laurel leaves.
