I think you are trying to say is the last 8 in the date over a 7, or better yet, do we see an 8/7 overdate? As mentioned above, better pics of your coin will be nicer.
From what I see, you could have something interesting going on with that last 8, and actually could be that rare overdate.

There sure are a lot of varieties for the 1888 IHC.
I'm not seeing the Cud near the E of UNITED...?
Maybe some better pics would help us out?

The last picture is better but you will probably need a good microscope/camera setup to provide sharp images of the date.

It's not the "famous" 1888/7, though (FS-301, Snow S-1.)
The rim Cud that forms over TED is not present on this coin. Also, the remains of the base of 7 should be clearly visible as a "lump" below the left bottom loop of the last 8 in the date, and it is not.

There are several other varieties of MPD (misplaced date) and RPD (repunched date) for 1888 but they will require inspection with a scope or a good loupe to evaluate, and this coin has surface issues (corrosion) that may make it difficult to distinguish among varieties.
