      General Notes: The 1951 Lincoln cent is a common coin in grades as high as MS65, though in MS66 this piece is considered scarce and in MS67 or higher levels is rare. Buyers should pay close attention to the strike and color of pieces in the MS64-66 range, as there are many specimens available and it is quite possible to find truly exceptional examples for the grade.
