The 1925-D is exceptionally common and is the best bet for those looking for a singular type coin anywhere under gem condition. The Mint pumped put quite a few of these but did not seem to replace the dies timely enough. There is a wide variety of strike strength, mintmark visibility and overall surface quality and coloring to choose from. When looking for one of these there are plenty of nice ones and even more unpleasing examples so you must be meticulous.
