The 1915 Lincoln cent from Philadelphia was produced in approximately 29.1 million coins, a lower figure than the surrounding years. The lower mintage gives the 1915 a modest premium over the highest-production dates but does not make it a semi-key. The coin circulated during the early years of World War I in Europe, which was already affecting American trade and commerce even before the U.S. entered the war.
