Lincoln Cents
1915 1C MS67 Red NGC. Ex: Pittman. There was no plate in the Pittman catalog, so our pedigree is based strictly on the NGC label. This Superb Gem has wonderful original orange mint color with traces of carbon on the obverse, and slight mellowing on the reverse. The borders are weakly defined, especially in the vicinity of the lettering, as David Akers describes in the Pittman catalog. The 1915 is a plentiful date, although Superb Gem examples are nearly impossible to obtain. Census: 1 in 67 Red, 0 finer (5/17).
Ex: New Netherlands Coin Co. (10/19/1943); John Jay Pittman (David Akers, 10/1997), lot 308; Central States Signature (Heritage, 4-5/2009), lot 2110; Central States Signature (Heritage, 4-5/2010), lot 240, where it brought $5,462.50.
