Can't really see how that is possible but we will need photos to say for sure.

Sorry but photos are too out of focus to see anything. They have too be clear enough to see any .detail.

Did you use the macro lense on your camera?

Coinsrgreat-

I did reply to your first email but just noticed it was not delivered.

I cropped and enhanced your second photos to make it more legible.

Are you sure the Mint Marks are both "D", because I believe there is a slight difference between the Nickel and the Silver Clad coins but the Silver Clad has a S Mint Mark, not a D.

I was also going to highlight the color difference. The one on the left seems lighter which makes me think it is not Copper-Nickel clad.

Coinsrgreat - 

Please correspond on this post. Two reasons, one I can't seem to be able to return your email and second I would like others to be able to join in on thid post. I'm not really sure exactly what is going on but without larger clearer pictures that can show all the detail, it is going to hard to define if there is a variation. If you crop your pictures, that will also enlarge them.

Coinsrgreat-

I'm sorry but even with your newest pictures, I still can't figure out what is going on. If by some chance there was a different die, then there would be 100's of thousands of them struck  making it a variety. Other than that I don't have an answer. Maybe someone else can help out.

I don't see the new pictures.

Where does this " obverse type of 1952-1959 " come from, anyway? I don't see it listed online anywhere. Cherrypickers shows 3 obverse alterations, all in 1934. If you zoom in on first image posted, to me it's clearly a D. It's been almost a week; I don't think the OP is coming back.

youtube? 

something does look odd but maybe just normal die wear or normal circulation wear? 

I don't know.

I had a couple IMs with @Coinsrgreat so I'll attempt to help them out a little. Yes, I can see a minuscule difference in the distance from Washington to Liberty on some other 1976-D & S coins online, and then further into the 1970s. I don't know what the significance is or whether it's precisely what they're talking about. Die state, die polish, an actual difference in design, not sure, not really inspired to dig into it more.
