Remarkable 1915-S Cent, MS66 Red
Sole Finest Certified at NGC

1915-S 1C MS66 Red NGC. The 1915-S Lincoln is acknowledged to be one of the most elusive of the early S-mint cents today, a position it has attained gradually over the last three decades or so as hordes of new collectors have discovered how truly difficult it is to obtain in top grades. This Premium Gem Red piece is the sole finest Red example so graded at NGC, and with PCGS's five coins, a total of a half-dozen 1910-S cents make the cut at MS66 Red.
The lustrous surfaces on this splendid coin offer a mottled mix of gold, red, and light violet, all well within the Red confines, and carbon is absent. The strike is as full as ever seen, with complete separation on both coat lines across the neck and no weakness on any of the reverse legends. A remarkable treat for Lincoln cent Registry collectors. Census: 1 in 66 Red, 0 finer (4/10).
