This is the 1874 25c "faint or missing crossbar" As in CANADA.

It has also been called "3 inverted Vs" in CANADA, as one theory was that Vs were used in place of As in CANADA, with the crossbars lightly drawn in by hand, once the mistake was recognized.

It is quite scarce, appearing about 1 in every 50 1874s.

One of my favourites. Hasn't really caught on in popularity.

But very hard to acquire in decent condition.

A lot of interesting varieties came from the Heaton mint.
While their initial die work is often good, their bungles are spectacular.
