1915 Lincoln Cent BU (Brown)
The 1915 Lincoln cent represents an early chapter in one of America's most enduring coinage series. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this copper coin survives in brilliant uncirculated condition, retaining its original details and a rich brown coloration that develops naturally over more than a century. On the obverse, the profile of Abraham Lincoln faces right, accompanied by the familiar inscriptions of trust and liberty that define this iconic design. The reverse features two stylized wheat ears framing the denomination, a classic motif that earned these early issues the nickname wheat cents. Legible inscriptions on this piece include the national motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST", "LIBERTY", the date "1915", and the traditional Latin phrase "E-PLURIBUS UNUM" alongside the denomination and country name.
