Looks like about 1790s, in around there.

Played with the photo a bit, looks like the last digit is an 8, and I believe a 08, so it might be 1808, if not 1798, but I'd lean toward 1808 date.

 

[Colosprings73]

Don,

I just did the same thing on my Photoshop CS4.....I got the same result...loks like an 8 for sure and most likely a 08.
