Hello there... I have recently come across a Denver-minted Jefferson nickle. But the D on the obverse is lower than the average height. I was wondering if anyone could help me discover the value of the coin.

Mint marks were added to working dies by hand until 1989. Their target area was below the date and to the right of the bust, so they could be almost anywhere, or upside-down, or sideways. Unless it is touching another part of the design or the edge, it probably would not have a premium.

to CCF. Type in "nickel low mint mark" in the search box,upper left of page. I recall something about a low MM that does have a premium. Also,please crop your photos before posting,thanks.

to the forum!

Like Fuzzy said, mintmarks were added by hand up to 1989. They could be nearly anywhere in any direction. Misplaced mintmarks usually aren't worth anything over face value. The one exception is a 1975-D Nickel where the mintmark was punched directly below the five (see link below). But your coin does not match that misplaced mintmark.
