It's a type 2 so would be mid 1886 or after. 1888 gets my vote as well.

You could also try the old pencil/paper rub to see if you can get a little more date detail that way.

Pretty sure it's a type 1 so 1886 or before.

I think 52Raymo has better eyesight than me, squinting my eyes and twisting my head, I now agree, type 1. Maybe 1868.

I see what looks to be a Shallow N reverse as well as a type 1 obverse. Would likely make it 1860s. Maybe a 1865 or 1868.

I vote 1868 from changing the tint back and forth.

Thanks so much folks! I wish I could give you each a prize for helping me, but THANKS will have to do. I'm calling it - 1865. Acetone and a Q tip along with your remarks helped me come to this conclusion. Thanks again    |

I see a coin being held my a pair of metal tongs - no matter the corrosion, you should not use hard metal objects to contact your coins.
Anyway - it appears to be an 1865 cent, and very corroded.

I can see the date pretty good now. It's from 1865.
