The first coin is too pixelated to see any fine detail. The second coin has Die Deterioration doubling(a form of die wear) which can also be seen on the 5 and the 2 to a lesser extent.

I will work on pics for the 1st coin and make a new post for it.

for the second coin, I take it then that, that sort of Die Deterioration Doubling is undesirable?

Looks like a small S over large S die.

There were different mintmark sizes in 1925? I didn't know that. The varietyvista page doesn't show that.
