This will be my second unidentifiable of the same size and thickness in the last few weeks. It is thinner than the half cent I also found in my yard. Same thickness as the British 1775 half penny I found.

Quarter for scale

Pretty toasted- but if you look, I think I see a guy looking to the right, with a bow at the back of his neck, and a big nose!

Could this be colonial? I live in a very old town and Washington's Army marched by about a 1/4 mile away according to landmark signs.

Dubs, You will get more looks & interest if you post actual pictures as opposed to attachment links.

Can't say for sure, but based on the bust I would guess that's a Machin's Mills halfpenny.
