  It's a 3.
  
  Compare mint state versions and you will see that the 3 wraps around and at first glance from a distance, you'd guess 8.

  "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

  I believe it is a 3... I detect a discontinuity at the top left of the numeral... Cheers, RickO

  I just keep seeing a bottom loop begining on the digit. It really looks like an 8 to me.

  Looks like an 8 to me but that may be wishful thinking.

  I vote 8, and I can't believe that one guy who posted ahead of me saw "corked platform shoes" on that girl hugging the pole.

  True. I am starting to move toward an 8. I took a look at the 1928's on the Peace Dollar thread and it may be an 8 after all. We need an image of a '23 and a '28 to compare.

  I just don't think the bottom circle looks round enough to be an 8, can't tell that it's complete. Have to go with the guess of 3.
  
  Will check out some registry pics.
  

  Have bought and sold on BST, many references available when asked.

  Obviously most likely a 3 and a cull.
