Here are pics from a two sites I dug back in the 1990s. The ratios are pretty close on these two sites. Although I have dug 70 Spanish Silvers total, I only have 5 pre 1850 US Silvers. However, I have well over 100 US Large Cents and 24 half cents. The ratios you are looking for vary wildly depending on what part of the country you live in.
I have another tavern site where I found 18 Spanish and 2 early US silvers, plus a pile of coppers, but I don't have pictures. Plus lots of other smaller sites with coppers and silvers, but it would be too inconvenient to try and count them, not to mention the are 50 miles away from where I'm sitting.
Site 1 = 11 silvers 47 coppers
Site 2 = 18 silvers 65 coppers
Here they are in nice little piles
