It is what is known as a fantasy coin- something that was never actually minted in a particular design/date combination. It is an imitation of the 1986 Statue of Liberty Centennial commemorative and almost certainly not composed of silver.

Could be a struck thru grease error where part of the 8 was obliterated. Is the "0" tiny or normal size as compared to the other numbers?

Numismatic humor. SGS is a "grading service" that slabs EVERY coin it examines as MS70.
