The 1915 Philadelphia Lincoln cents are common in circulated grades though it is a tougher date in the uncirculated grades and a true rarity in the Red uncirculated grades, particularly above MS65. Only a relative handful of specimens are known in MS66 and but a few in MS67 or higher. In all respects, the 1915 penny is one of the toughest Philly-mint Lincoln cents around, behind perhaps only the 1914 Philadelphia Lincoln cent.
Obverse Description
Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portrait and the date and mintmark (If any) positioned on the right side.
Reverse Description
Wheat ears flanking the words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the top perimeter.
