The 1915 proof Lincoln cent was struck as a matte proof in approximately 1,150 pieces, the lowest mintage of any Lincoln cent proof. The rarity of the 1915 proof makes it the key to the matte proof subset (1909-1916). A collector building the complete matte proof Lincoln cent set will find the 1915 the most difficult and expensive acquisition. The matte surface, authentication concerns, and low mintage combine to make this one of the most desirable early Lincoln cent proofs.
