Notes:
"1915-S comes with very flashy luster, but generally "baggy." Its strike is often weak. Being late in the series, the 1915-S was saved by collectors. It is not nearly as scarce as the 1908-S and 1909-O, which have similar mintages, especially in MS 65 and above."¹

The finest Uncirculated examples graded by PCGS are 3 MS-67's.
