Same size as the one cent a tiny bit thicker and united states is bigger. Found these right near a major highway lol

Top left looks like the Back of an Indian or Flying Eagle

The early indians And all eagles are slightly Thicker

Actually reminds me more of the Flying Eagle reverse

and even more like a Large Cent.

Your in the wrong forum though.

Those in What Is it Have Better Eyes

Oooh a mystery! I love mystery coins and the research involved finding out what they are exactly. You learn so much more about coins that way...

Enjoy!

-Happy Hunting!
 

Earlier Large Cent, like 1793-1794?
Good Luck,
Phil
 

Better pics of both sides of the coins in question would certainly help....Can't see quite enough detail to tell. With better pics, it will certainly narrow it down.
 

Is it the same size as a small cent or large cent? If it's the same size as a small cent, my guess would be a flying eagle cent, just based on color and thickness. Awesome finds regardless!!
 

Are you sure those aren't large cents, the coin in the top photo on the left looks suspiciously like a large cent (Minted 1793-1857).
 

They both look like largies.
 

The one on the left looks like a matron head large cent, 1816-1839.

Yea the one on the left is a large cent. The one on the right is the same roundness but a little thicker. And the words united states is bigger. That's all I can see on it. Grrrr. Lol someday i Hope I'll pull one out that looks better.
 

After looking at ur posted large cent I bet the other one is one also. It has the same border around the coin
 

Ok they're largest...I'm stumped then lol
 

A picture of the other side still might help. If not, you could always try taking a pencil rubbing of the obverse of the coin. Might produce some detail... I had some trouble seeing the date on a draped bust large cent that I found a few years ago but then I took a rubbing and here's how it turned out.

That's awesome. Thanks for the tip I'm gonna try that. The other side is toasted
