Nevermind, after looking further, that isn't it.
Looks like a Vermont copper. Not sure of the date or variety. Hopefully a specialist can help.

Vermont copper, kind of rough but the variety may be identifiable. OK, Quick edit. The best I can do is I think, it might be a 1788 RR-16, everything I see matches, but unfortunately there is a lot I can't make out.
Yep.

Probably a 1787 or 1788 Bust Right.
Can you see in hand if it's a 1787 or 1788?
@ambro51 knows these by die variety and might be able to ID it.
Flatten your staples 😧
Head style and orientation makes it look like the common RR-16 to me, but agree that it’s kind of hard to make out. This is my 16, for comparison.
Thanks Folks, cant see date at all
Thats what was throwing me off, the head design because of wear and corrosion, looked more like a backward serpent new jersey horse type design than a bust figure
