I've seen a fair number of 1975-D's and can't recall seeing one with the mm positioned that high.
There's little interest now in these types of varieties, but that may change in the future.
I think it's cool.
@Npacy2....Welcome aboard.... Interesting catch... certainly is a high D.... I do not believe it commands a premium, but I would save it in a labeled flip...Cheers, RickO
That's not the one on page 140 of the 2020 Red Book,
so it's not the 'good one'.
However, there are other placements for the D mintmark
on this date, and your's is one of those 'high D's.'
Not the rare one, but this location is scarce, imo.

Keep it. Then look for some more positions. It will be a cheap and fun challenge. Look for the highest grades and keep upgrading.
PS This will not make you rich but it may add a few years to your life.

Welcome to the forum @Npacy2.
Looks interesting.
Please post a zoom in pic of the mint mark area.

This sorta looks like the variety that Q. David Bowers has in the recent Red Books.
