The 1915-D Lincoln is a scarce semi-key coin on the order of the other early D-mintmarked pennies, though this piece typically trades at lower price levels than other pre-1917 Lincoln cents of similar scarceness. Many come well struck and supplies of Brown and Red-Brown specimens are sufficiently adequate at least into the MS64 and MS65 levels.
