The 1915-S Lincoln cent was produced in approximately 4.8 million coins. The semi-key status of the S-mint dates continues through 1915. The coin is scarcer than the Philadelphia and Denver issues and carries a premium, particularly in grades above Fine. The 1915-S is one of the last pre-war S-mint cents before World War I reshaped the economy and the Mint's production priorities.
