You really need to improve your pictures. Try first to show a normal picture of the mint mark like you do of the obverse of the coin. There is only one poster on this site that sees things on coins that the rest of us cannot.

Definitely cannot tell from the images provided. Do you have a magnifying glass you can shoot some photos through?
