Usually if you cannot read the date, the coin is in fairly bad condition and thus is not worth much. There are some exceptions to this, however. If the coin is made from silver or gold, it will have value as bullion. Also, it may have some value as a "type coin" even if it's in bad shape if the type as a whole is rare. Finally, even if the date is illegible, other design aspects of the coin may sometimes allow a numismatist to determine the date.

How many coins are in 6.8 pounds?

That's going to depend on how many small, light coins, large, heavy coins, and medium size, medium-weight coins there are in the mix. You could have 272 US half-dollars in one bag, 617 nickels in another bag, and 1,360 dimes in another bag, and each of the three bags would weigh 6.8 pounds. And also by the way ... when I read the question, I understand "lbs" to mean the "weight" of the coins, and to have nothing to do with the "Pound" unit of several world currencies.
