I vote D. The MM's too big to be the S.

Agreed.

I vote "D." I know that's disappointing because oddly enough the low grade 1912-D nickels are worth little more than the 1912-P coins. I have always thought that they were a bit special as the first branch mint nickel. They were first issued, I believe, in February while the 1912-S nickels were all made during the last week of December.

I saw this video a couple of days ago on altering a D to an S on V nickels

It's funny, but I have had 2 or 3 '12 D's that looked exactly like that.
There must be something about that mm taking a little hit where it kind of changes appearance.
