I think you're going to have to clean that puppy up a bit more for an I.D. Start with some warm soapy water and see if you find any key features and/or date.

You can always measure and weigh it and compare those to what the Redbook says for a clue as to it being a LC

I have never had much luck cleaning LC's to get more details from the coin, but I have seen some huge improvements in detail on Indian Head pennies using the hydrogen peroxide method. I use a scent oil warmer with a small candle and it heats the hydrogen peroxide up, I change the peroxide out every 10 mins or so. 3 of the LC's I found this year I was unable to even get a date but could at least identify which type of LC it was.

Congrats on your first O mint mark!

Can't be 1894. 1854 maybe ? Hard to say other than there were no large cents by 1894. To my tired eyes the last number looks like a 6. In any case very cool. I'm still looking for my first LC

NH bandit you bet thanks a lot keep digging and will find what it is were looking for

The US Mint switched from large to small cents in 1857. A few LCs were minted in early 1857, and about 2,000 Flying Eagle proofs were minted as congressional samples in 1856. By the onset of the Civil War, large cents were still circulated but no longer actively minted.

Flowing Hair large cents were minted in 1793.
From 1794-1796, a bow was added to the flowing hair.
Draped Bust heads were minted from 1796 to 1807.
Classic Heads were minted from 1808 to 1814.
Matron/Coronet Heads were minted from 1816 to 1839.
Braided Hair Heads were minted thereafter, from 1840 to 1857.

Flying Eagle small cents were minted for circulation for only 2 years, 1857 and 1858.
Indian Head cents started out as a copper-nickel alloy from 1859 until 1864.
In 1864, Indian Heads began mintage in bronze until the end of their series in 1909.
Lincoln wheat cents began mintage in 1909.

And so ends my chronological cent history.
