I have to agree that it looks like a 1882, but this is purely a guess.

The mint mark positioning says it is not 1893.

How do they get in such bad shape? Seems to me that there are so many out there in such nice shape that it's rare to see one so worn down...

I can't imagine anyone would fake a coin in this shape. Some cowboys in the wild west must have bought a lot of whisky and played a lot of cards with this one!!

the last number looks like an 8 to me. ...if you look at the top left of the number, it never stops. ...everything flows together as an 8 would.
