1915 Matte Proof Cent, PR66 Red
Rare So Fine, CAC

1915 1C PR66 Red PCGS. CAC. The 1915 is a rare date among Matte Proof Lincolns, and this is a wholly original, memorably patinated example. Overall golden-tan toning features a distinctive swath of barn-red color on the lower-right obverse quadrant, extending through the low point of Lincoln's lapel and upwards through 915 of the date. Rich-orange accents add eye appeal to the well-balanced reverse coloration.

David W. Lange believed the 1915 obverse master die was enhanced by the Mint, resulting in razor-sharp definition at Lincoln's hair and beard -- reminiscent of the earliest matte proofs of the series. Those features are indeed sharp on this splendid Red Premium Gem. The coin is housed in an old, generation 4.0 blue label holder with barcode on the back. CAC endorsement adds an important confirmation of high quality. Population: 8 in 66 (1 in 66+) Red, 2 finer. CAC: 3 in 66, 1 finer (12/19).(Registry values: N2998)
