1927-D Lincoln Cent. MS-66 RD (PCGS).Exceptionally well preserved for this conditionally challenging Denver Mint issue, both sides are silky smooth in appearance with a delightful frosty texture. The eye appeal is truly extraordinary, otherwise deep golden-orange surfaces revealing playful highlights of iridescent salmon pink, powder blue and lemon yellow as the coin dips into a light. <p>By 1927, the quality of cent production at the branch mints improved noticeably. With a moderate production figure of 27,170,000 pieces struck at Denver in 1927, this issue has a higher survival rate than many of its predecessors and can be found with little trouble in circulated condition. At the low to middle Mint State preservation levels, this is still a relatively available issue, though most specimens still show some weakness in striking quality and quite often have spotty color. Examples struck from fresh dies are seldom encountered and rarer still are those with unblemished surfaces an radiant color. Sharply to fully struck, as well, it is little wonder that this premium Gem is one of the two finest 1927-D cents known to PCGS. Worthy of a premium quality Registry set.
