Assuming the coin is circulated and has no mintmark, the 1851 Liberty Head (Type 1) dollar is the second highest mintage of the series and is a very common coin. More than 4,000 coins have been certified. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins of this type have seen heavy use and show a lot of wear. In general retail values as of 9-1-11 for low grade coins are $135.00-$170.00, better grade are $190.00-$210.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $220.00-$270.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelry or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer.

NOTE: The entire series of U.S. gold One Dollar coins is known to been counterfeited.

What is the value of 1851 US 1 coin?

That depends if you mean 1 cent or 1 dollar, and if it's a silver or gold dollar. The price range could be anywhere from $10 to over $1,000. If by chance it has an Indian head design on it, resembling the Indian cent, and the back says 1 DOLLAR 1851, then it's a novelty coin, and it's not worth anything.
