1892-S Barber Half Dollar Mint Mark - Tooled? Altered?

Am about to sell this 1892-S Barber Half Dollar on Ebay, but am concerned about the appearance of the mint mark.

Does it look tooled or altered to anyone?

Thanks!

    Very hard to tell out of context. Appears OK but I am no expert. Sorry I can't be more help

    Picture's a bit too small to say. At least for me. Looks OK to me but I dunno for sure.

    Looks real. The size and shape are good. The S mint mark did go through a few changes over the barber half series. I'd need my book to remember.
