A roll of 1973 D pennies from a friend

I posted about some rolls I picked up from a friend at the Denver Coin Expo a couple months ago.
I bought 4 rolls from him, from his childhood a few years after these came out when he was about 11 and he had bought them at a coin show. He never searched any of the 4 rolls because pennies never became his thing. He told me that he likely dumped one or two of the rolls partially out to see them maybe when he was a teen but can't remember which rolls.
I've never done a roll of "fresh" 1973 D Lincolns before and oh my they are a mess lol.
I genuinely thought I was looking at whizzed coins at first.
Look at the group shot, all those foggy halos...that's some heavy-handed die polishing lol!
Our host's images of some higher grades, and it's still easy to spot that crazy die polishing lol https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1973-d-1c-rd/2962
It was my kind of fun and just wanted to share 
The one in the flip is the one I determined to be the best of the bunch.
As a side note, it appeared that every single one was an RPM-003 which is pretty neato.
The roll
All of them RPM-003
Best in show
Fun ones...
Can you spot the ultra heavy die polishing lol?
Coins are Neato!

can't imagine there is much value there but the die polishing is over the top!

I love the die polish. They look amazing!

Just a heads up that RPM-003 has the mintmark much lower relative to the date.
That is some extensive die polishing on those cents. Thanks for showing us... Cheers, RickO
1973 is the only year with a very large FG on the reverse.
