    I have seen more people believe they have a 1918/7 Buffalo than their are stars in the sky and honestly may are very deceptive but I just can't be 100% sure here:

    Maybe a real find?

    Maybe maybe not. I choose not.

    Looks more like another star in the sky to me. :)

    I don't see the straight line from the 7 in the lower loop so I'm voting no. Google some images and compare them.

    Is the reverse rotated? That could be a clue.

    Sort of see the top bar of the 7, but the coin is so worn.
    With a clear date it would be easier to tell. Do we know what the mintage or survival rate of the 8/7 is?

    Nope. I would expect the holes in the 8 to be far more filled up.

    Nope. For certain.

    Keep looking. They are still out there.

    If so, the next to look for, would be a small die crack, immediately above the tie on the braid, leading sightly downward to the Indian's jaw. A full close picture would help.
