1915-S Cent, MS66 Red
Among the Finest Known

1915-S 1C MS66 Red NGC. The 1915-S Lincoln cent is a slightly better date in all grades, but becomes notably elusive in Mint State. In full Red grades, this date is genuinely scarce. NGC has certified only 33 full Red examples in all grades, with the current offering tied with one other for the finest; PCGS has seen only five pieces in this grade, also with none finer (11/14). Both sides display radiant, satiny luster in shades of coppery-gold and deeper red. The design elements are sharply struck, and only a couple microscopic flecks are observed with a lens. A beautiful coin, of obvious importance to Registry Set collectors.(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22BM, PCGS# 2485, Greysheet# 1837)
