IS THIS A WASHINGTON TYPE CENT?

I dug this coin about 20 years ago at an old hotel just outside of Liberty, N.Y., It measures about 1 3/16".
There was a pond next to the hotel also, the hotel has been torn down since.
I thought it was a type of Washington Cent because of the unique size.

    looks British.

    Any chance of a bigger pic?
    Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

    English, I believe that type was only struck in 1806.
    No value in that condition.

    Perhaps no market value, but plenty of personal value -- any day one can dig up a 200 year old coin is a good day!
