Looked like N-3 to me. Certainly not AU+ like 2X2 said but vf-20 ish? think its worth more than $29.50 if its the 51/81 variety. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1851-Unite...203294368351

Looks like it to me, but it's not easy to tell for sure. If so I agree it's no AU yet still a $100+ coin more likely. Nice score if it turns out to be, keep us posted.

Coinfrog, I was going to say that though my two eyes would call that a VF-30 at the lowest.
Its a little difficult to tell if that is the 51/81, but it could be.

VF-35 seems about right. Some crud around the date, but I think it is the 51/81.

VF35 not sure about the overdate. I think this is one you would need in hand
