this one is odd, I am no expert on Lincolns but the beard looks tooled and the coin it self has a color that to my eye suggests cleaning and retoning.
Feel free to call me Will.

Very nice 1915! EZ 64BN with a shot at 65 if there is cartwheel luster under the brown. I would consider sending this in for grading, it's quite a valuable coin if original.

beard looks tooled The master hub was...by the Mint! The hub lost a lot of detail since 1909 so they worked on it in 1915. Then, in 1916, a completely new hub was put in service. Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

Thanks for the info Thad. I was planning to put it in a flip marked "tooled"and sell it at the local flea market for $20. Glad I didn't!

The 1915 cent shows much more detail than the previous year of 1914. That is a very nice coin! I will say it is MS but with the rim dings I'm not sure where on the scale it would fit. Nice find  |
