Obverse 25 is identified by date placement at RE, with date repunching
that features an initial date impression to the north above the 7.
Obverse 25 has developed moderately heavy to heavy die flow lines.
Reverse
Y is in a similar die state as Obverse 25, with the advancement of moderately heavy to heavy die flow lines.
Comments: The Obverse 25
initial date impression above the 7 should be readily visible, though
this feature may blend into the top of the 7 on lower grade examples.
