Found in a yard close to large cents ... but this is slightly larger and the only word visible is "America" on the right side...with a larger than normal size wreath buds. Obverse very worn ... but I've included a variety of pics of both sides if it helps. For perspective a large cent is close by.

Any ID help would be wonderful!

Thanks!

GD :)

Could you please post a photo showing both coins, side by side, so we could get an idea of how much bigger it is? If it's only a very slight difference, it might be a draped bust cent. Or it could've been hit with a hammer causing the difference. A half cent would be noticably smaller than a large cent. The wreath makes me think it's a large cent. But I am often mistaken regarding such things. Any other opinions?
