I have an old Nikon 50mm 1.8 that I am trying to identify. Any ideas?

I have a couple of those, what do you need to know?
Manual lenses, I use them on my EM, FE2, D700, D7200...

I am putting together some items to sell so I wanted to see what it was worth but needed to identify the version to price it.

I seem to remember that there are a few sites that can give you more details from the serial number.
I bought mine ages ago for £30.
they are super sharp and fun to use.

In my neck of the woods we call them $25-35 dollar razors. Sharp. Very sharp. Heavy too if they are the older Japan ones.

It's an early version 50mm f/1.8 Nikkor AIS. Excellent lens. I keep it on my camera because the pictures are so sharp. They sell for around $150 at KEH.

That is the first Nikon lens I owned. It came with an FM2 that I bought in the early 1980s.
