Does this position/location for the D mint mark look correct? I know the D mint mark can be a little off for the year but can it be that close to Lincoln's lapel?

The OP's coin. Looks like it might be #5
genuine, #5.

Thank you for the valued info and confirming. It just looked closer than usual and closer than my MS-64 RD.

You’re welcome!
I was just passing it on. I can’t take credit for the composition. It was posted by another forum member not long ago after a similar question was made. I did a quick copy and paste.

Good question.
I thought there were 6 different MM locations for 1914-D's but if it's number 5 then who cares about 6?

Those various MM positions for 1914-D pennies are pretty durn close to each other. The mint employee who stamped the 'D' on those dies was a stickler for precision.
