Found an 1831 Large Cent at a 1980's Soccer Field!

At least I think it's from 1831. Found it about 6 inches down and didn't hit it with my digger, for a change. Not in bad shape, but of course the date is hard to read. I think it has to be either 1821 or 1831. The mintage for 1821 was really low, so I'm betting on 1831. Let me know what you think!

Here's a few pics. i didn't do much to it. Just brushed it a little with a toothbrush and then did the nose oil trick on it.
