1915-S PCGS MS-65.

1915-S MS-63.

1915-S NGC MS-63.

1915-S PCGS MS-64.

1915-S PCGS MS-62.

1915-S PCGS MS-63 (rattler).
|
There is no grade for which 1915-S could be considered a key Saint, but at least this nicer MS-63 has something a little "extra" going for it. A threadlike strikethrough passes over "L" in LIBERTY.... |

1039 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $1,600.00 |
1915-S PCGS MS-64.
|
Befittingly sharp for MS-64, high points of the design elements suggest faint roll friction. A couple of small, curving scrapes on the obverse account for the grade. |

1915-S PCGS MS-64.

1915-S NGC MS-65.

1915-S Uncirculated details/cleaned.

Two 1915-S PCGS MS-63 (green label).

1915-S NGC MS-65.
|
There was a time when gold coins with exquisite, original surfaces like this might have had trouble attaining GEM grades, because such extensive patina tends to cloak luster to some extent. But... |

1915-S PCGS MS-65.
|

1915-S NGC MS-64.

1915-S is lumped in as bullion along with other "common" dates, but appears on the market to a much less prevalent degree than, say, 1924 or 1927. A delightful strike has filled this example with... |

1915-S PCGS MS-63.

1915-S NGC MS-65.

Two words come to mind when looking at this coin: Super Duper. Its color is that of the inside of a ripe Georgia Peach that was freshly picked. Its strike detail is as sharp as the picture on my new... |
