    hard to tell from these images, they seem lifeless and dull, lack of luster....


    the Obverse seems relatively hit free, but the reverse appears to have wear on the bell, the 51d is amongst the boldest of strikes to be found on a Franklin, the Bell lines tend to be razor sharp and the words pass and stow tend to jump off of the coin....

    this one seems worn, though it may just be the image.....

    Here are two different 51d Reverse on some coins I used to own, these babys are hammered!
