So yesterday I upgraded my 1927-D DDO-001. I found this one at a variety dealer's table in Baltimore, and we came to a fair price. Neither of us knew it at the time but it is the PCGS CoinFacts major plate coin, which is a bonus. What we did know is that it is POP 3/0 with none in MS65 in any category so pretty darn sure this is my final upgrade for this one. The last photo is an extra just to show that the 2 is notched on the left, top and bottom. Could be a master die for the date but was kinda neat seeing that notching when going over the coin. 1927-D/D Lincoln Wheat cent doubled die - DDO-001, RPM-001, FS-501 MS64BN POP 3/0       |

That's a real beauty! I imagine it will be pretty darn difficult to find an upgrade for this one. Great closeups and the plate coin is a bonus for sure. Congrats!

Fantastic find. Gorgeous color.
And seeing that notching on the 2 for this variety is a first for me.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Super great find. Top pop is cool if you can afford it.

Thanks for all the kind words! The dealer had a lot of varieties, as he always does, but this time I found one that really slid into place. And the RPM itself is definitely in my top 5 favorites, so just a nice addition all around.
