1915-S Lincoln Cent, MS66 Red
Rare CAC-Endorsed Registry Coin

1915-S 1C MS66 Red PCGS. CAC. Ex: Bender Collection. Like many San Francisco issues from the early years of the Lincoln cent series, the 1915-S is conditionally elusive in the Red color category. Most pieces reported at PCGS are in the MS64 and MS65 numeric grades. This piece is one of just 10 in MS66 Red at that service, with none finer (6/22). Boldly struck devices complement rich satin luster, with no evidence of carbon spots. Warm copper-orange and golden hues adorn each side. In recent years we have seen only a few other pieces in this lofty grade, another notable piece being the coin from the ACW Collection, which realized $9,000 without CAC recognition. The present example has luster that is somewhat more vibrant than that piece, and it is the only MS66 Red coin that we have handled with CAC endorsement (and we have now handled it twice). Population: 10 in 66 Red, 0 finer. CAC: 3 in 66, 0 finer (6/22).
Ex: June Signature (Heritage, 6/2021), lot 3034, where it brought $20,400.
