I found this coin a while ago and it's definitely a large cent I'm just wondering if it's 1820 or 1830. I bought a digital microscope
and these were the best picture I could get.

Looks like 1830 to me! Nice find!

The way it’s worn/corroded is quite deceiving. I have to agree that after looking at fonts of both years of other examples that are more clear...it looks like 1830 to me also. The flat bottom of what would be a “2” isn’t there, yet...the center downward backstroke of a potential “2” appears to be there. I think that’s just blended corrosion. Either way...what a find!! I’d be smiling like an SOB either way.
