Dug this last summer. Can't pull a date. Thought it might be a capped? Too hard to tell
 

Judging by the chin/neck line? I think it's more likely to be a draped bust

I agree, perhaps a draped bust half cent? I think this photo matches up really good to the back of the coin. No clue about the holes...

It's a large one cent. And it is a 1700's. I can just make out the "7"

The holes were used to secure coins to their garments as they had no pants pockets back then

LOOKS LIKE A COIN MADE INTO ONE OF THOSE WIRLY GIG TOYS FOR KIDS WAY BACK IN 1700S . PASSED A STRING THRU IT AND PULLED SHOWING AS A MOTION PICTURE OR MAYBE IM NUTS .
