Very much scarcer than the normal 1895 penny, the 2mm refers to the gap between the trident and the P. Peck says Very Rare. Freeman says R8.
You often see this streaky lustre on this date. See if you can find a better 1915 - I'll bet you struggle.
As well as an unusually good strike for a 1919, the lustre is attractive too.
These are really quite difficult to find at this level. You'll find a few high-ish grade examples if you look, but very few this good.
Easily a GEF even taking account of the slightly subdued lustre that you often see on these. I don't mind it, personally, and it is just a personal thing because it does not affect strict academic grading at all.
V.R.Court, in his legendary survey of penny varieties found in circulation at the time of decimalisation, found that less than 12% of 1940 pennies were Single Exergue Line. I think it's significantly less now, in the collecting world.
