Simple answer is: 1909-S / 1909-S V.D.B. / 1914-D / 1922 no D / 1931-S and the 1943 Bronze and 1955 Doubled-Die error coins.
No, the 1951 Lincoln cent is not rare.
The rare small cents are: 1877 1908-S 1909-S (Indian Head Cent) 1909-S VDB (Lincoln Cent) 1909-S (Lincoln Sent) 1914-D
it depends on the date and the mint mark. Lincoln pennies were minted 1909~now. Wheat pennies 1909~1958. Lincoln memorial pennies 1959~2008. Lincoln bicentennial pennies 2009 (4 designs), Lincoln union shield pennies 2010~ .
A rare date for wheat pennies would be 1909 S VDB.
Not really.
No, the 1951 Lincoln cent is not rare.
Uh, the word "everyday" means "ordinary or commonplace" so something that's commonplace can't be rare. If you're asking what are rare dates for Lincoln pennies please see the Related Question for more details.

2011 Lincoln cents are not rare. It just takes some time for "current year issue" coins to make their way into circulation.
1943 silver pennies
A rare date for wheat pennies would be 1909 S VDB.
No 2009 pennies are "rare" strike, the final design of Lincoln's presidency had the lowest mintage of the series, but over 325 million of those coins were produced, hardly a rare strike. To put that into comparison, there were only 183,502,722 Peace Dollars minted throughout the entire lifetime of the coin's existence and the Peace Dollar is not considered to be a rare coin by any means. So while the 2009 Lincoln cent in the last design (keep in mind, this is only the last design, not the entire 2009 mintage) has a small mintage compared to the rest of the more modern pennies, there are a lot of pennies out there, it isn't rare in the least.
Not really.
Lincoln pennies were struck 1909~ . In 1901, they were minting Indian heads
No. There have been over 700 million of these cents minted. They will probably never be rare.
About a dollar depending on condition and that isn't a rare year for Indian heads
