1915 MS65 RD
Lincoln Cent
[ Click on coin to view full size image ] Description
With all of the uncertainty out there about the originality of full red copper, it's nice to find raw Lincolns that are undoubtedly original red. That's the best way I can describe this one. This coin is not blazing "fresh from the mint" red; it is a handsome, mature shade of full red with a warm feel to it. This coin has class.
I've always had a certain indiscernible connection with this date. 1915 is the P mint that thinks it's a branch mint. At least that's how I categorized it in my mind over the years. There seem to be so many out there that are 3/4 red, but strangely it's hard to find them in full red, especially gem condition like this.
