Steve I need your help with my find! :surrender:

As you can see I circled some things to make it easier for you to see. Some of the points of interest. Could this have been stamped wrong?? Lite double on the date?? 1776?? Could it be?? Please help me?? I do live near a place that was a fort in the middle 1600's.
 
Man, you're sure pulling some nice finds!

I'm having a hard time from your pics trying to decide what is coin impression and what is pitting from corrosion. It's kinda like looking at clouds and I'm seeing all kinds of things. :D Possible to get bigger pics or a good image of both sides off a scanner?

Frist off, the 1776 Mass. colonial penny as you posted is a fairly big coin, 1-1/4" diameter. Yours?
Also, with methods of production at the time and the very, very few numbers of this coin struck, I dunno if there would be much chance of a minting error like that occurring and the coin passing into circulation.
