I agree, looks like an eight... I inverted the colors on your pic and it looks to have an indentation such as an eight would have and not a straight "leg" like a six.
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Freedom is a well armed lamb contesting that vote. Benjamin Franklin - 1779
1836 Capped Liberty dime. My oldest US detecting find so far. I dig almost every signal I get for the most part. Go figure...
If you go to the link and supersize you can see what I think is some tooling to turn the 8 into a 6! My heart skipped a beat here as the Krause book has the 1776 listed as rare!

Red.
As in, "red-X-of-death".
(I guess since X is the Roman numeral 10, it's a ten.)
