It looks like an 8 to me as well.
All, including the 1912, have been cleaned, but still nice coins.
It'd be nice if it was a '16, because the D is there....$$$$. Could be honest wear, but a dryer coin would do essentially the same thing. Do you...

There's 2 relatively active coin site that have BST. Try Coins and Canada and Coin Community Forums
