Beach finds today: usual clads , a "wheatie" ? date and a "Mystery Coin"..I need help on this one!

[Magyar]

This "mystery coin" ( I'm hoping it's a coin ") was deeeeeeeeeeeeep!! I kept at that sound...wouldn't let go of it...I'm glad I stayed with it.

By the looks of the encrustation...this one had to be in the ocean for about 100 years..

Anyway, I 'm soaking it now...we'll see what happens..

It is the size or a quarter.. sorry that I can't even designate "reverse" and "obverse"

Anyone care to take a wild guess what it is?

thanks for looking

Yeah, it is rather common..I think it's a Standing Liberty.. ( 1916-1930) as I clean it more and morethe reverse is showing that flying eagle...

was hoping that it was a Barber.....next time

digital x ray machines where the image comes out on a monitor instead of a film. They could x ray it.
