Was messing with some of my finds and decided to try and shine a flashlight on it because I'm not 100% sure what it is... Any ideas? IMG_20191212_210254-600x800.jpgIMG_20191212_210225-600x800.jpgIMG_20191212_210220-600x800.jpgIMG_20191212_210212-600x800.jpg
 

It's definitely a crusty old coin. The exact diameter of it could be a tip on what it might possibly be.

27mm matches Capped Bust (1815 -1838) large cent. what is the weight? (6.74 grams for this group)
27.5mm matches Draped Bust (1796 - 1807) large cent with same weight.
Or may be foreign.

Good call on the LC. If you rotate the reverse picture 90 degrees left you can just make out the 'I' in AMERICA @ 4 o'clock.
