8 over 7 or wishful thinking?

[Detectorist143]

Ok all did not find this today but not long ago. But of course
Finally had a chance to check out this coin.

1888 Indian head wishful thinking? But that last 8 looks dented in more.
I'll try to get even closer if you all think I should. Coin camera on the way.

Thanks all.
