Notes:
"1915 is an interesting year. The Philadelphia issue is low mintage for a late date P-mint and less than a million of the 1915-S were produced. Only six 1915-P are currently certified better than MS 65, insuring a shortage for those putting together an ultra-gem set."

"1915-P comes with smooth surfaces, but usually lacks a sharp strike."<sup>1
