I would say no. It's just the index finger bent at the joints.

Jello, I saw this occurrence on the unc cents from the mint rolls as well. When I saw my first one, my heart sank into my stomach because I thought I just discovered the next new rage in Lincoln cents. But after looking at a few hundred of these now, what you are seeing is very common even on the uncs. I have to admit that it does look as if there were a 6th finger, but unfortunately for us, this is not the "big" one!

I think it's the light (lighting) catching on the 'intermediate phalanges' the middle section of the fore finger.
