Lot Description: Key Date Proof 1915 Lincoln Cent Top-of-the-Census NGC Proof-67 RB 1915 Lincoln Cent. Proof-67 RB (NGC). CAC. Beautiful satin surfaces retain full mint orange color on the obverse, the reverse with a blend of autumn-orange color and golden-brown patina. All design elements are fully struck, and both sides are expectably close to pristine for the impressive Superb Gem rating from NGC.

Specimens that are as smooth and attractive as the present coin are particularly challenging to locate under normal market conditions. A fleeting bidding opportunity for the advanced Lincoln cent enthusiast that deserves serious consideration. NGC Census: 5; 0 finer in any category.
