1888 Indian Head Penny 8/7? Thanks

[Footballman77]

It looks like the 7 is protruding from the bottom of the 8 and I think I see the faint cud mark along the edge by United but to worn for my eyes. . I’m probably just seeing what I want, but does anybody else have some input for signs I should look for? Thanks

Signs of Delirium.

Clouding of consciousness.
Difficulty maintaining or shifting attention.
Disorientation.
Illusions.
Hallucinations.

It's an 8.

You should post in coins forum lower down the page.Your talking about the last 8, am I correct in assuming that is the 8 in question.

rick, I think you just described me, I don't get the 8 part though. Footballman, I THINK I see what your asking about, but there are other fella's who know their stuff on the Forum, perhaps a coin dealer? they could tell you yes or no.

Is very hard to tell on a dug coin whether or not it has this error. I can't tell you how many times I have stared at the ones I have found. The seven is very subtle most of the time. I would not give up it still could be.
