Found this today at my favorite copper field.
I put the dime in for size reference. I have taken pictures of both sides plus rotating 180 degrees.
Looks very old, copper and I can make out some letters.
They are (maybe) ART and D2.
Really need some help here.
Thanks,
Al
it says Liard De France , most likely a 1600's era coin Al ! congratulations Attachment 66246Attachment 66247There is some variations in the type of bust that could narrow down a date range .

Hey Al, I think you might have an old French Liard ! Rotate the bottom pic bottom to top and compare it below.

Congrats on the Liard
:lol: you guys have good eyes, and awesome find, Al!!
Thanks everybody. This is my second Liard but I'm pretty sure that I will not be getting a date off of this one. I think my other one was a 1657.
Congrats! Ya gotta love those 1600's coins.
WTG on the Liard as well as the ID. Still looking for one of those babies.
Great find Al! You have a good talent for sniffing out the old coppers.
