These were minted from 1866 to 1883 so that third digit must be a 6, 7, or 8. My money is on 8. Last digit a 2 or 3?

1882 or 1883. 1883 is where I'm at.

1883 here too. Nothing to lose with a little vinegar and peroxide.

Agree. This has little value, so you might as well experiment.

4 parts vinegar, 1 part peroxide. Let it soak, and check after an hour or so.

In the last picture posted the last digit looks like a two.
I'll go with 1882
