1925'D' Brilliant Uncirculated, nearly Choice. Icy mint frost in the fields and quite attractive for this issue. The surfaces are clean with minimal bagmarks. A generous strike produced the desired results on the Capitol building and other devices as well. Identifiable by a scrape on the torch touching Liberty's hand. With an original mintage of nearly 3 million pieces, it is remarkable that approximately 1,000 survive today, virtually all in lower Mint State grades. As a date, the 1925'D' is scarcer than the 1924'D' or 'S' issues, as the economic disruptions from Europe continued to ripple across the world's economies. America at the time was just discovering the joys of easy credit, and our home economy was just starting to expand into a wonderous boom and bubble.
