Old 1850s Farm House Find

[USMC Reaper]

Hello Everyone,
I had my Equinox out for its first real hunt. Found this holed British Coin, any ideas?

It is about the size of a U.S. dime.

Thanks

It does appear to be the "Jubilee " profile of Her Majesty - and now I'm unsure if you found a thruppence or a sixpence ?

 

[CRUSADER]

Can't ID it without a diameter, as it could be a 3 pence, sixpence, or shilling??
The Jubilee head was used from 1897-1893.

 

[Argentium]

Since we are given that it is close to the size of a
U.S. dime , I'm thinking sixpence rather than thruppence - but I could be mistaken !

 

[Argentium]

Okay , I have the diameter measurements of , a Victorian 3 Pence , a U.S. Dime , and a Victorian Sixpence .. they are as follows : 3 Pence - 16 mm., U.S. Dime -17.9 mm., Sixpence -19mm.
