No, the 1951 Lincoln cent is not rare.
Pretty much any nickels minted from the 1930s to today are considered to be common or only very slightly rare. You have to go back at least a century to find rare standard strikes; in addition there are several rare errors. Some of the more valuable coins are: > 1879, 1880, and 1881 shield design > 1885, 1886, and 1912-S Liberty head design > 1913-S Type II buffalo design. The following buffalo nickel errors are rare: >1916/16, 1918/17-D, and 1937-D 3 legs
They're relatively rare to find in circulation being that they're over 70 years old, but they're not so rare that they're extremely valuable.
Rare dates for Lincoln cents include 1909-S, 1909-S VDB, 1911-S, 1914-D, 1922, and 1931-S. Then some not as rare but still valuable dates are 1910-S, 1912-S, 1914-S, 1915-S, 1922-D, and 1924-D.
No, this is not a rare date for Lincoln cents. These coins can easily be found in circulation.
There are only a few truly rare dates. Among standard issues, 1877 and 1909-S are considered to be key dates. 1877 Indian cents retail for about $1000 in worn condition and go up to $150,000 in top condition. A 1909-S retails for $500 to a several thousand. There is also an 1888/1887 "overdate" resulting from re-use of an existing die. While this could technically be considered an error coin its value is anywhere from $2300 to $50,000
Yes, the 1969-S Doubled Die Lincoln is rare.
No, the 1951 Lincoln cent is not rare.

In 1970 buffalo nickels could still be often found in circulation. So other than rare dates and high grade uncirculated specimens, the rest had little or no added value. Also, they are normally called either "buffalo nickels" or "Indian head nickels". The image is of an entire buffalo, not just its head, LOL!
No. But the ones where the buffalo have three legs are.

Uh, please give the coin another look. All 1985 nickels carry the familiar Jefferson portrait used until 2004. Lewis and Clark Bicentennial nickels were minted in 2004 and 2005. In any case, none of those 3 dates is rare.
in the 1800s are rare.......the Red Book tells you all kinds of rare dates
The 1943 steel Lincoln cents are not rare regardless of where they were struck.
No, this is not a rare date for Lincoln cents. These coins can easily be found in circulation.
