Only nic-a-date knows for sure. PCGS didn't think the piece has a mintmark. Why would anyone think a reconsideration (at more expense to the collector) is going to result in them changing their mind? It's a curiousity or it's highly likely a 'D'.

is nothing hidden which will not become manifest." --- Gospel of Thomas (Lamdin translation)
I see an "S". Despite the wear, you can pick out the serif of the tail in the bottom left of the supposed mintmark. There is a slight yet distinct angle to the straight edge of the serif. The dimple at the top of the letter is present as well. If you look at the mark as a 2D outline instead of the 3D shape we are accustomed to, it becomes more readily identifiable.

Sure has curious wear characteristics in just that one area near where the mintmark would be. Is it just me or does that seem odd to anyone else? Almost like someone deliberately put additional wear on an already worn piece (with a 'D'?).

I still say an S. Cannot see the D at all, but the S stands out to me.

It's an "O".
Can't you people tell?

It’s just a “C”, nothing special.
I see a MM of some sort
I'll just go out and purchase the d&s and not worry bout it. I'm to old and to tired 😫

Looks like an S.
Change the photo to gray scale (black and white with different shades).
If you could please.
it's really suspicious that area alone is so worn.
