It is worth it's intrinsic metal value in that condition, i.e. a few pence. 1853 is not a rare date. It isn't 1863 which is a bronze issue.

Right ok thanks cuz it is in a bad state, I can't make it out it did look like a 6 but I trust you guys you know more about coins than me haha! So worthless then ha!

The 1863 has the date below Britannia, not Victoria. i.e. it's on the other side.

Unfortunately, you have one of the commonest Victorian copper farthings, dated 1853 ... in shocking condition! Even if it was a scarce 1863 (which - from 1860 - is a different size, metal, and design), it would be worth little in that condition.
