Up for auction/sale is a scarce and sought-after early branch-mint key date—a 1915-S Lincoln Wheat Cent in Extra Fine (XF) condition.

Struck at the San Francisco Mint with a low mintage of just 4,833,000 pieces, the 1915-S is an essential early semi-key date in the Lincoln Wheat series. Finding early S-mint cents from the World War I era in high-grade circulated condition with problem-free surfaces and rich, original chocolate patina is becoming increasingly difficult. This choice specimen offers outstanding eye appeal, sharp portrait definition, crisp wheat stalks, and a distinct mint mark—making it an exceptional anchor coin for any high-grade Lincoln album, Dansco setup, or early U.S. copper collection.
