<p>[QUOTE="MrOrange1970, post: 2649096, member: 80547"]So I'm collecting the entire wheat series with a mandate that all Philly Cents must be MS Plus. For some reason I've found it incredibly difficult (most difficult in fact) to acquire a nice raw MS+ 1915. I had a bit of the same challenge with 1921, 1923 and 1925 (still trying to replace an OGH that I won't bust). I hear the words, conditional rarity thrown around but with the mintage numbers of 1915 (29,090,970) I am absolutely perplexed as to why there is such a shortage of this coin (raw MS+)???</p><p>And as a note, I'm not looking for Red. RB or B are both acceptable and difficult to find.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have read the Lange and Bowers books on this issue and see no notes indicating that this is an especially difficult year. Can any of you enlighten me on this? 1914 was a challenge too but not nearly so much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
