Looks like 1835 from your pictures
1815, but altered from 1835
looks alot like 1815
Stars, head, hair bun/bow, and she does look someone applied the wrong “make-up”. Someone tried to make her loose some years.
Should have picked a better year, though.
Looks like 1815 to me..... Cheers, RickO
An 1835 altered to become an 1815.

That's a good candidate for some careful conservation. Date will likely become clear if the black crud can be removed. Start with acetone as it won't harm the coin. Research some previous threads on cleaning heavily corroded coins such as those found by metal detecting. And -- thanks for cropping those whopping pics!

we all realize no copper coins were minted in 1815, right?
I wasn’t there so I couldn’t tell you
https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/86476-1815-us-large-cent-proof--4-known-to-ex Take a look at this
Six year-old article. Has the coin in the article been authenticated?
If you think you have what you think then why not send the coin to some experts/TPGS to have it authenticated?
IMHO. No one can authenticate a coin by just photos.
Good luck and please update the forum about your results.
This would explain the motive to alter it.

It looks like one of those manufactured 1815 large cents. For the record the mint did not issue any 1815 dated large cents. The broke the consecutive date run for the series. Collectors have been looking for a hole filler for many years. In this care, the second “1” looks out of place because it’s too big.
