Description

Superb Gem Full Red 1915 Cent
Ex: Mershon

1915 1C MS67 Red PCGS. Ex: Tom Mershon Collection. This issue has the fourth lowest mintage of any Philadelphia Mint Wheat cent behind the Depression years of 1931, 1932, and 1933. The 1909 VDB issue has a lower mintage as well, but the 1909 Plain Lincoln cent emission was substantially larger. This piece is sharply struck with gorgeous bright orange-red mint color and frosted, mattelike luster. Close examination shows a couple of tiny abrasions above the first S of STATES on the reverse, but they are only mentioned for future identification purposes. An important opportunity for the Registry collector. Population: 5 in 67 Red, 1 finer (1/09).
