But most likely not. And it's so far gone... US 1 Cent 187X (?)    Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Hard to tell from the pics and corrosion, does the "N" is one look like the shallow "N" found on 1877?

It's so corroded that even with my 16X loupe under a strong light it's impossible to say. When I get a chance (maybe next week) I'll put it under the scope.

Lucky you can make out the first 2 #s, maybe try a bit of Verdi-Care.

That's a rough looking coin.
Errers and Varietys.

fwiw, while hunting nickels, I have learned that harsh light and strong illumination are not necessarily helpful when examining faded coin features. Sometimes gentle axial light will bring up those sorts of details.
