Went to an old cellar hole with center fireplace yesterday with Foundation Hunter, found this sweet 1821 LC about 8 inches down, Love it when they clean up like this.

My eyes aren't what they used to be, but it looks like 1831 to me.
Still a terrific find!

Appears to be a 1831 Newcomb 3 variety, Rarity 1.
the top of the third number definitely don't have the "curly" top like the 2's do , I agree with Tony its an 1831 .Originally Posted by Tony Two-Cent

Whatever it turns out to be, 1821 or 1831 still a great find.

Only two varieties of 1821 and on those the date numbers are far apart, the 6th star points directly to the crown of LIBERTY which is not the case of the coin posted and it does attribute as a 1831 Newcomb 3 variety, Rarity 1. A shame it is not a 1821, since that is a tough year to find.
Yeah, I have to agree...super coin!

That looks like an 1821 with a better picture,nice find Gary
Again, many times a coin can be dated even if it has not readable date, by other attributes and the other attributes confirm it is not any variety of 1821 and than looking at the date, it is a 3 not a 2. Corrosion plays tricks! With that said, I put together photos of both 1821 varieties, your coin and what I said it is a 1831 Newcomb 3 variety. Just look at the size of the numbers of both 1821's and then your coin, than look at the spacing between numbers and your coin, then compare with the 1831.
great comparison pictures Don , you can really see the spacing of the numbers in the date , the 1831 are noticeably closer together .

Thanks for input everybody, but the third # looks nothing like a 3, i used different powered loops, and looks nothing like a 3
I also understand the placement of the 6th star and spacing of the numbers.
