Is there a question?  Or did you just feel like posting a dirty/corroded five cent piece?

I laughed my *** off at that, but seriously, was it the 1974-D,76-D or 78-D that there are 2 different MM positions...one near the date and one further away? I only bring it up because I went searching for the difference after reading about it, I think D. Bowers brought it up once in an article and challenged readers to send a photo of it or the coin to him or something...patience with me it's just from memory and I'm HIGH JACKING this tread so now I'm a PIRATE!!!

Actually, there could have been more than 2 positions in any of those years. The mint was still hand punching mint marks into the working dies in the 70s.
