So either 68 or 98 will work.
? "68", upside down, would be "89". Typo?

Also, depending on the font, a "6" can be different from a "9". And if the two lobes of an "8" are different size, the smaller is on top. Check with magnification to see if the fonts match, and do indeed present identically shaped characters. If not, it'll still work at a glance. Anyway, to come this close, you've beaten the odds at 98--or 99--to one, against. Great find!
