Found Coin in Bag of silver

you are quite correct it isn't the best looking coin, but the anomaly's that the coin features are quite different than a picture I am not able to focus capture what you can actually see under the 6 with 30x mag which is a straight raised line thru both openings on the 6 which coincides with the raised feature on the top of the 6 and what of course appears to be the point of a 4 to the left, not an expert but it is interesting learning new hobby, something new

It's just damage.

 

And kudos for taking the time to learn something new; it's genuinely nice to see people get excited about their coins, but you must understand looks can be and often are, especially to the inexperienced eye, deceiving. Damage, particularly on a corroded coin, can manifest itself in ways that give the appearance of something that really isn't there, and am I afraid that's exactly what we're seeing here. The fact is that all too often, such fantastic would-be errors/varieties just happen to show not on honestly circulated or MS examples, but coins that haven't led the most healthy of lives, and there's a very good reason for this. All things considered, you should ask yourself which is more likely... a damaged and corroded coin showing a very significant never before seen overdate, or a damaged and corroded coin showing something that just happens to resemble an underlying 4. In this hobby, the most obvious answer is usually also the right one.

Do continue to do your homework and seek out expert (not coin forum) opinions if you want, but please don't get your hopes up and try to keep seeing this all as a learning experience. Welcome to the forum, sir.

Please do keep in mind that renting a table in no way signifies the individual standing behind it is an actual expert. All it does mean is they paid a fee in order to rent the space, and this is especially true with small local shows.
