Coin has circulated for quite awhile and as such has numerous abrasions. One of which is causing you to see a phantom under-mint mark. Sorry.
There are numerous die varieties on Barber coins; no one has seriously studied them to any degree, to the best of my knowledge.
Glenn Holsonbake recently picked up a very neat 1892-P Half in PCGS 63 with a die break inside the arrows on the reverse. I termed that coin the : Bow and Arrow Variety . Glenn has it listed as: HAH-1.

Now that I look at it closer... What looks like an underlying O seems to be too small to be a quarter punch. It's not a dime punch as those are bigger than quarter punches. The 95-O that I have is a VF20 but is a different die pair from your coin... I'd like to see it in hand to tell I suppose.

I sure as heck see it. Ya know, FWIW, these coins haven't exactly been studied for such die varieities very much at all.
