Sorry bout the picture quality usually get better pics.
 

Nice finds there congrats.
 

Can't really tell what it might be. Heavily corroded, (like most I find), but have you tried the heated peroxide bath? You really have nothing to loose. You should be able to, at least, ID what kind of coin it is after peroxide. It's what I do. Good Luck and Nice Finds! Hogge :headbang:
 

Looks too big and too thin for a half cent. My guess is a never-to-be identified colonial copper. I have dozens of them.

Nice going on the Matron Head!

Thats what I was thinking myself it's half the thickness of the Matron LC same size just half as thick.
 

Richard, could def be a KG copper. You've already found another one close by. Didn't you think you could possibly see a lady sitting before you cleaned it? Like others have said, might want to go ahead and sink it in the peroxide. I'm surprised that you couldn't get a date off that matron head.
 

Great finds. I need to learn more about coins as I would have tossed some in the trash not knowing what I had. :icon_scratch:
