Chances of 1815 are slim to none. As much as I see the 5, I don't see a 25 or 35 from these pics. So I'm going with 1816 as well.

" I like it because it looks antiquish and could have been held by some of the people who founded America. "
I was passed down a couple of Colonial Era coins which are in poor condition and I feel the same way about them. It's amazing to think of their journey.

No large cents were struck in 1815 due to a fire at the Mint, this being the only year in which One cent pieces (of any size) were not made. |

I think you should attribute it by die variety, confirming the date. As it sits, it appears to be an altered 1816. Quote:
No large cents were struck in 1815 due to a fire at the Mint, this being the only year in which One cent pieces (of any size) were not made. The fire burned in January 1816, meaning it was not the primary reason why 1815 cents were never struck. The war of 1812, lasting until 1815, put immense pressures on coin production and the availability of precious metals to make coins with. People were hoarding metals that would otherwise be usually coined at the mint. Copper planchets were being sourced from England (note how corroded classic heads come), but no planchets were able to arrive in the U.S. since an embargo was enacted between the combating nations. It was a slow year, seen in the lack of 1815-dated issues across all denominations except low mintages of quarters, half dollars, and half eagles. Suffering from bust half fever.

I don't think it's an 1816. Numbers are too close together
