I have a 1972 D 1 Cent D above the date

Howdy,

The stray 'D' is too big to be a mint mark and not shaped right to be a dropped letter. So, I'd put my money on it being a contact mark, or two, that look like the letter 'D'.
What happens when you shoot from another angle?

..... does it different / change shape ...., as you 'spin' the coin when viewing it ??

Interesting anomaly.
It appears to be recessed (incuse) into the surface of the cent.
