Coronet Head 1816-1839.

Edit to change answer: Upon a closer look, it may be a braided hair 1839-1857. Your coin has a wider rim and more pronounced nose.

a better foto of the coin may help

1816 to 1839 for sure, much closer pictures might help to narrow it down further.

Better pics, I still think Braided Hair 1839 - 1857. The nose is less pronounced, and the wreath is thinner on the Coronet Head (1816 - 1839). Although, it looks like the coronet head might have been changed in the late 1830's to look more like the braided hair?

Braided Hair

Coronet

I looked at other pics of coronets from different years. Looks to me like the "S" is above the "N" in all. Same with the "E" on the braided hair. I don't know if that's by design or coincidence.

Unless the corrosion is playing tricks, it's a late Coronet head 1836-1839. Forget looking at the positioning of the lettering on the reverse, there were many, many different dies used. Look at the back of Liberty's head, on the braided hair, below the bun the hair juts in sharply toward the neck, on the coronet head it is more full.

There is a line under the word cent on the back.
Face angle and details look like a matron head to me.
