The edges look copperish...I wish you luck....but could it be an old half-cent. Aren't the large cents about the same size as a half or a little bigger? (at work or I would compare myself)

You should know by now!

Found a coin recently that's was only slightly larger than a penny - stuck in the middle of a CWR, not as ugly as your find, but it was a Mexican
centavos 1972
