Can you please help me identify this coin? It appears to be an 8 but there is a clear 9 also there.

If it was a 3, it would be made of steel and not copper colored. It is a damaged 8.

The coin is damaged, a long time ago someone tried to create a 3 out of the 8 and they gave up then it has circulated and accumulate circulation wear and patina.
I have a 1913 V Nickel that some created buy carving out the 8.

Yeah, i know it's not a 3 as the 3 drops down below the 4. On a 1943 the middle hump on the 3 aligns with the bottom of the 4. So it's an 8 or a 9, but then to the right of the 8 or 9 is another 9? Do you think that's someone messing with the coin or did that happen at the mint? I've seen d over d errors, but never a 9 over 9 error.

The 9 also drops down below the 4.
It's an 8, as the three replies above suggested. They also stated it is damaged AND someone tried messing with it a long time ago.
It is not a 9.
