Unknown Coin....Might be from across the Pond?

[civilman1]

Found this in the front yard just about an hour ago.It's definitely a coin,no shank mark's what so ever.While cleaning this I noticed from an angle a bust of some kind.It's 17.4+/-mm and is only 1.0mm thick.This thing is worn to death.Any info would be great,thank's for looking.

I looks like an worn out wheat penny but I hope it is a rare coin. Thanks for sharing.

My Dad carried around a silver dollar as a good luck piece for so long that it wore down smaller then a 1/2 dollar so it's possible.

Could ask Crusader, if it is from across the pond he is likely to know.

Are the pictures of one side or both?
That sucker it really worn.
Hopefully you can get an ID Joe.

The second to last picture is the reverse of it Doug.Thank's

Here's a couple of more pic's,nothing matches up to a wheaty........Being in the hand's of the "finder" doesn't do this piece justice!!!

I don't see wheatie sorry and it doesn't sound like cooper when it hits. Got a silver sound to me. Hope it is!

I still say wheat penny also...I've found one or two that were SUPER thin and smaller diameter than normal pennies. But I dunno, interesting tho!

 

[HuntNdig]

looks like a seriously worn down wheatie to me too

you can pretty much make out the Lincoln on it

Its not from over here (at least Britain anyway)

If that is a worn wheat....someone had a nervous problem.. .had to have rubbed the thing constantly.

Interesting....
Many times I've hoped for IH, then I see the shadow of that profile
sometimes still visible on paper thin salteaten cents..
I'm not sure, the head looks larger on your example

I know Herbie.For as long as the "wheaty" has been around,someone would have had to rub this thing(and the rim) for 100 yr.'s Just doesn't seem right to be honest.

Joe,
I may have figured it out. It's a Wheat Thin.
Sorry, I couldn't pass that up.

Its clearly a penny. The diameter is worn down just like the rest of it.

I didn't want to say wheatie either but damn if that doesn't look like a lincoln profile.
