1915-S Lincoln Wheat Cent — Extremely Fine (XF) — Semi-Key Date
A desirable 1915-S Lincoln Wheat Cent, struck at the San Francisco Mint and designed by Victor David Brenner. The obverse features the portrait of President Abraham Lincoln with “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “LIBERTY,” and the date. The reverse displays the classic wheat ears surrounding “ONE CENT” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”
This example is graded Extremely Fine (XF), showing light to moderate circulation wear while retaining strong detail in Lincoln's portrait, lettering, and the wheat stalks. The “S” mint mark identifies this coin as a San Francisco issue.
With a mintage of only 4,833,000, the 1915-S is widely recognized as a semi-key date in the Lincoln Wheat Cent series. It is particularly difficult to find in high grades, making attractive circulated examples desirable to collectors.
