    Would appreciate some informed opinions on this piece. I realize it is one of three types that have the left facing head, but I'm having trouble identifying the die pair due to the current condition and what appears to be having spent a long time in the ground. I also can't see a legible date.

    Weights is 7.39-7.4 grams (~115 grains).

    And input is much appreciated, thanks.

    Looks like it had a hard life.

    I'm going to guess ;) 1786 Mailed Bust Left Bressett 9-H.

    If I have this right, on the reverse the arm pointing to the upright of the E rather than the tips of the extensions (which Ryder-10 and -15 do) proves it as 1786 Ryder-11.

    NOTE to OP: Ryder-11 is the same variety as Bressett 9-H and W-2050. It's too bad it is in poor condition. I grade it G-6 Corroded
