Been cleaning a LC I found in Oct 28th 2013, Help?

These are the pix from the day I found it, it was found with my friend Vino in a church in Old Philadelphia. My son told me he saw 1810 on the date, when I seen the shape the coin was in I got pretty aggressive around the date figuring it was toast and I could not hurt something that was toast. We figured it was a Classic Head Cent 1810. It has been soaking in olive oil since then and yesterday I took it out and started to toothpic it a little. I came to the conclusion that it was covered by some kind of crud and started to uncover it. I now know it is a Coronet Cent and believe the date is 1820, the first two pix are outside light on a blue background. The next pix are on a red background from inside light.






The weird part is if you look at the last two pix, the reverse side first. If you draw an imaginary line from 9:00 to 3:00 then flip the coin over, the obverse side does not line up, it goes more like 10:00 to 4:00
Here is a link to the 1820 Coronet Cent, there are 12 varieties, It could I guess be a 1820/19, there are four varieties of this one.
All the photos I have looked at the obverse shows it lined up like this
1820 1C MS Numismatic Guide | Coronet Cents Coin Collecting Guide | NGC Coin Explorer
1820/19 1C MS Collector Coins | Coronet Cents Coin Details | NGC Coin Explorer

Any thoughts as to this "misalignment" I really don't know, I'm thinking maybe taking it up to a nearby coin dealer. What do you think guys?
Thanks for looking, HH

That's a nice find, and it looks like it's as good as it's gonna get in terms of cleaning. Certainly 1820 on the date.

Cheers,

Buck
