Unimprovable 1915-S MS66 Red Lincoln Cent

1915-S 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Ex: Tom Mershon Collection. Orange-gold, glowing matte-like surfaces complement an exceptional strike on this choice and elusive S-mint rarity. A couple of toning flecks are noted with a glass near the back of Lincoln's coat, and a couple of reverse ticks-all of which do nothing to diminish the astounding quality of this piece. All legends are bold, as well as the date and mintmark, unlike the vast majority of branch mint examples from the teens and twenties. This is the last year of Victor D. Brenner's original Lincoln cent design-with more wrinkles on cheeks, coat, and forehead-which Charles Barber modified the following year, and this is a superb example. Unsurpassable quality for the Lincoln cent aficionado. Population: 5 in 66, 0 finer (11/05).
