1915-S Lincoln Wheat Cent – Historic San Francisco Mint One-Cent Coin
Add a classic early 20th-century coin to your collection with this 1915-S Lincoln Wheat Cent. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this historic one-cent piece is part of the beloved Lincoln Wheat Cent series designed by Victor David Brenner, one of the most enduring and widely collected coin designs in American numismatic history.
The obverse features the iconic portrait of President Abraham Lincoln, making it the first regularly circulating U.S. coin to depict a real historical figure. The reverse displays two wheat ears framing the denomination and inscriptions, a design that became synonymous with American coinage for nearly fifty years. The “S” mintmark denotes its San Francisco origin, adding mintmark appeal for collectors building complete date-and-mint sets.
Composed primarily of copper, the 1915-S Wheat Cent circulated during a period of significant economic growth and industrial expansion in the United States. San Francisco issues from the early Wheat Cent series are especially popular among collectors due to their lower mintages and strong historical appeal.
Whether added to a Lincoln cent album, a U.S. type collection, or an early American coin portfolio, the 1915-S Lincoln Wheat Cent offers timeless design, historical significance, and enduring collector demand.
