It's somewhat hard to tell from the pictures, but I may be seeing some old scrub marks on the obverse?

better photos

 

I'd go vf-xf on it, looks as though it may have some hidden luster...? Cool coin, always liked those~

 

my sister calls it the 'ugly- man coin.'

 

i got one last weekend at a flea market at AU55+ what do you guys think it is worth (it too was an 1892)

 

In that condition, around $20. What did you pay?

 

cool cause i paid $20

 

You did just fine. Pic?

 

here it is, it looks MUCH better in person, bad lighting in my room too but these should be good enough

 

Very nice. $20 well spent!!!!

 

Thank you! I also got around 200 aluminum shell game tokens (mostly presidents but also the cars and states) for only $3 on the same day, I still haven't checked to see if I have any full sets of the presidents and I have not checked to see how many different cars and the variations of the state ones exist but I still think I did pretty good on those considering there is one seller on ebay selling them for $5 each including shipping
