There are tool marks inside of the 3, and the font is of the tail of the 5 is the same as the 1858. It looks like a tooled 1858

Below is a known tooled 1858. This one is crude compared to your example, but it has some of the same characteristics.

I agree that this appears to be a tooled 1858.

In addition to what others have noted, the reverse die on your coin appears to match Reverse Die "C" from 1858. That die was matched with 1858 Obverse Die 2, with a date slightly sloping downward from left to right. Your coin's reverse die has a die crack from the rim to the lower serif of the "C" in AMERICA and very lightly continuing to the eagle's left wing (our visual right). That appears to match 1858 reverse die "C." I emphasize "appears" because of the wear on your coin.

That obviously isn't the news any of us ever want to hear. It looks to be correct, though.
