Looks like a D to me.
Yep, Denver Mint.
With a pesky die chip, me thinks.

Just got my digital microscope from Amazon. Confirmed Denver with PMD.
Maybe I am wrong (?) but if clad with a mintmark, it has to be D, if 40% silver it has to be S. (Not counting off-metal errors).
Philadelphia and Denver struck business strike copper-nickel clad Ikes for the entire series.
San Francisco struck all of the collector issues (proof 40% silver & copper-nickel clad, and regular strike 40% silver).
Thx. I missed the clad S proof.
The silver clad weigh roughly a couple grams more than the nickel clad. (24.6 vs 22.7)
The reverse you show looks like RDV-001. (reverse die variety)
given the chices, most likely a Denver nickel clad (or rare coin)

Looks like a D to me.... and PMD..... Cheers, RickO
1972, with a Type 1 reverse with a MM = 1972D
(all 1972S MM, whether proof or business strike, had a Type 2 reverse)
(unlike the 1971S proof Type 1, there are no known 1972S Type 1 reverse coins)
