Grabbed this one for the most acceptable price of $16 the other day and it arrived today. Guessing EF-45 but getting close to AU. It's a bit of an upgrade to the one in my collection. The RPM is quite obvious, but the doubled die is just an eyelid to the south. Either way it's another double variety and the new number one coin in this DDO-001 slot for my set. 1927-D/D Lincoln Wheat cent RPM-001, DDO-001 - FS-501

Thanks all! And Grapes that is a good question. I would say the one I am replacing is somewhere in the middle of VF, but it's a tough one. Some of these coins from the 20's have a variety of weak reverses and die wear issues and all that I'm never exactly sure. But anyway it's quite nice and wasn't hunting for an upgrade, this one just came along.

What a beauty! This is the RPM that got me looking through all my previously searched stuff for varieties. Good eye on that cherrypick, too.

I believe it is but I'm unwilling to go poking around in there to try and clean it up and be 100% sure.
