I think it's a D/D but maybe it's just a poor mint mark. What do you think? The mm is much fatter on mine than the examples on the pcgs page.
Will this coin tone better over time, say in an album? Or did it tone woodgrain because of uneven smelting?
What would you give it for a grade?
It looks like it's the beginnings of SDO-002.
The die crack on eagles left wing (his right) and the beginning of the RIBUS one. At the base of the bust, there's a thin one from edge to edge but one of the lightest I've seen. It's got all the PUPs.
To me, and in the photos, it looks like the 46 doesn't belong. They sit taller. The 19 fades out and the 46 is great.
I am not sure with SDO-002.
This is the SDO/DDO info.
Does anyone have any insight into this SDO/DDO please? Some examples have fat IN/TR. Coin has all the pups for DDO-002 except the LDS mm set to the left. There is a raised portion on one edge/side of where the ribbon is raised up.

Oops this is Liberty. Also I just noticed there is a faint die crack beginning to form. All the PUPs, hmmph, no DDO.
So what think you? How's luster, grade etc? I can see a nice skin underneath. It can still catch a cartwheel through the toning.

Looks like a doubled top left serif to me on the mm. Also seems to have machine doubling. Very common on these 25c.

It looks like an RPM....I do not see a DDO at all... Cheers, RickO
I'd like to double check on the RPM here please. I very much trust @ricko and @LanceNewmanOCC .
There is a substantial difference in price between a 46-D and 46-D/D.
I do see a very clear RPM at least.
That's good enough for me lol. Thanks homies. Glad I didn't post this for $45 on ebay.

here is the source i used today to see if it was listed. it is not. probably too minor. but i've seen minor ones listed.
you can check through wexler's listings as well but i don't have the link for that site/page handy.
usually these are simply referred to as "split serif rpm" indicating something minor. i've still sold quite a few of these types across different denominations.
nice pic on the closeup of the mm.
