Unidentifiable coin found at beach - old silver?

[time4me]

I'm hoping someone can help me identify this coin I found out in waist deep Atlantic ocean waters this week. It is silver (had a black crust on it), and is the same diameter as a dime, but much thinner - maybe due to much wear. I can't identify any markings, but there seem to be some shapes showing at least on the side shown in the first pic.

Almost looks like an Indian head penny, but if it's silver then I dunno

Definitely and indian. You can clearly see the row of feathers on the edge. Nice find! Indians give wierd signals in many different soil types, and I can imagine you were searching very carefully to pull one in the sand.

I agree - IH. You can see the shield (at 1:00) on the second picture (the reverse).

Weird that is looks silver though.

If you still think it's silver, you might try this:
Take a swatch of alum. foil and place baking powder on it, then the coin then more powder on top. Loosely wrap the foil around the coin and immerse it in a cup of distilled water over night. See what you have the next AM.
