1915 Lincoln Cent, MS67 Red
Registry Set Contender

1915 1C MS67 Red PCGS. The 1915 cent had a mintage in excess of 29 million coins, but this was actually a dramatic drop in production at the Philadelphia Mint from the preceding years of the Lincoln design. Full Red survivors can be located with a little searching in the MS64 to MS65 grade range, but Premium Gems are distinctly elusive and finer pieces are decidedly rare. This beautifully preserved Superb Gem ranks a full grade point finer than the coin represented in the current highest-rated Registry Set; it is one of only eight MS67 Red examples certified at PCGS (none have graded this high in either of the other color categories), and only one coin has been encapsulated finer (7/14). Satiny, coppery-red luster illuminates crisp design elements, and magnification is needed to detect any mentionable signs of carbon.(Registry values: N2998)
