Is this 20c "S" or "CC"?

I had this marked as an "S" but on second review, the top loop doesn't look like an S loop and also I think I see a "C" where the second "C" should be. What do you think? And what should I do with it? Should I have it authenticated/slabbed since the mintmark is so hard to make out and the differences in S and CC are quite dramatic? Does this look like it would grade PO-1?
THIS COIN IS NOT HOLDERED.

Here is an AG3 for reference:

Sure looks like a C[C] there...

I'll go with "C" as well.

It matches the 1875- CC have so I say "CC."

I'm a little surprised it graded problem free.

It is not holdered. Just used the prongs.

It's awfully well-struck for a CC.

It's a 'C' as there looks to be too much empty space in the middle of the 'C' to be an 'S.'

<< <i>It is not holdered. Just used the prongs. >>

Trying to make it even uglier?

Looks like a C...C to me. Nowhere to punch them close together on that die.

I C a see.

Hmmm...I would have to say "S" judging by the shape of the outline. And where do people see the second letter?

My guess is that it is a CC. You can see the second C on the center photo best and the first C-loop is too big to be an s..I do not know if the difference in value for such a low grade is worth slabbing. Just compare it to another coin mm on a 1875 twenty cent piece. It may well be a P01. Worth slabbing only if you can make out better by slabbing it.
