n-15 is a die marriage designation. the n stands for newcomb (howard). he was a dude who extensively catalogued the middle and late date die varieties of US Large Cents. N-15 is scarce and is a financial premium piece.

off the top of my head I think its an n-13. 13 shares the reverse die with 15. the coronet tip is too pointed for a 15 if I remember right. it looks like the pucker instead of the long mouth.
