A little Seated Quarter Help

[NVNutcase]

I was wondering if anyone had any tips that would help me read the Date on this coin. It must have spent Years in someone's pocket to get this worn down. Here's a couple pics:

The date is under the seated Liberty figure on the obverse, which is the photo on the right. If you get a close up picture you can post it here, but you should be able to tell wit a magifying glass or loupe.

Huh, 3rd digit looks like an '8' , maybe 1881? Certainly a rare date if that's what it is.
