1915 One Cent MS RB Values

Details

The 1915 Philadelphia Lincoln cents are common in circulated grades though it is a tougher date in the uncirculated grades. While scarcity is a factor for this coin in the higher uncirculated grades, though by no means is it rare, at least when discussing Brown or Red-Brown pieces in the Mint States grades.

Obverse: 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: Wheat ears flanking the words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the top perimeter.
