1951-D Lincoln Cent (anything special?)

Is this anything special or is it just another 1951-D Lincoln Cent? Thoughts and opinions are appreciated. Thanks! matteproof

    It's a D over S mint mark and has a price in the cherry pickers book of $150 in MS65. They show it as having an interest rating of 4 stars out of 5. mike image

    Just as an FYI, the reason ANACS lists just the Breen number on the insert is that for a while the overmintmark attribution was questioned, as many experts believed this to be simply a repunched D/D. A few years back an EDS specimen was found and the overmintmark became the generally accepted attribution, and now I believe ANACS will put "D/S" and "OMM-1" on the insert. There are still some "varieties", like the so-called 1958/7 Lincolns, where ANACS will only list the Breen number on the insert.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.
