Not a copper large cent ?

[Eastcoasthunter21]

I believe this to be a counterfeit
Large cent. I can not make out a date
But a bust is clearly visible
It’s not copper , or lead it’s hard , not brittle like pewte
But it’s silver color The reverse is toast
So the bust is what I’ve got to go on
Thanks for any help. HH gl.

interesting. Looks like someone was trying to cast their own Braided Hair type large cent

It does look like the braided hair bust as jg said.

I heard tales of an 1810 cast in tin ? I’ve been looking online but not found anything definitive yet
