Harshly cleaned. Not worth the price whatever the price is.
58
66+. Nice coin.
Send it to PCGS and see if it comes back MS62.
Even if your coin had whatever it is you think it has, in the condition it's in it wouldn't be worth anything. Spend it--if you can.
One other thing: I sent a similar appearing 1931-S to PCGS. One of the "lesser" services had called it AU58. PCGS put it into an MS62 holder.
I would say AU58. I think there's a little wear on Lincoln's cheek and jaw line. I like the color so if it's been cleaned it would fool me. I also...
62 at best. Obverse chewed up. One of the worst 18-Ss I've ever seen.
I think you should call it a 1951-D 1/S! Looks clear to me, but I'm looking with 75-year-old eyeballs so you can take that for what it's worth.
You need to read what chemist Weimar White has to say about toning. Paraphrasing, he says that toning on a coin is like rust on a pipe, structural...
I was going to say that it looks cleaned, but I'm persuaded by the Chinese fake example.
I would call it a semikey at best. To me, the keys were 1909-S, S VDB, 14-D, and 31-S.
65 BN on the OP's coin.
It looks like a harshly cleaned overmintmark (D/D) to me.
Picture of the reverse?
Look like ordinary circulated cents, not pennies, to me.
60 or 61. Pretty chewed up and ugly IMO.
AU50
By the way, I guessed 63FB before I saw the answer. Don't know how that happened, as the answer was right above my guess.
63FB. From your pictures, it looks pretty bad but sharp strike.
