i have been trying to hone my evaluation skills of photos of coins and came across e-bay item 3918137367. my question is does the area around the "s" mintmark look suspect?

Can't tell.

It does look indented but could just be the pic.I would like to see a close-up of the MM to see if it is an added later MM. The first thing I noticed was the damage in front of nose.That would stop me.

There is a big difference in value between XF and AU, do you feel LuckY?, My guess is that it will go up, But, then again, it closes at a good time on the east coast.

I would pass.

Here is a blown up shot of the mintmark on the coin in the auction.

The mintmark appears to be original - one thing that's for sure, the coin was definitely struck with a mintmark, hence the dent around the mintmark. Thing I don't get is that the seller talks AU and UNC grade values, but skips the fact that the coin is a worked over EF.
