I need opinions. This coin is in an 1882 O holder. It appears to me that it could possibly be an O/S. Please examine the mint mark and let me know if it is a plain O mint mark, or an O/S. Thank you!

From your pics that looks like the O over S.

Your hobby is supposed to be your therapy, not the reason you need it.
It sorta looks it to me (maybe a early die state?)
Not my area, but I'm leaning no. The pic from our host shows a larger hole above the crossbar, which leans down to the right. Yours has holes roughly equal and the crossbar has an uptick on the right. The crossbar also looks a more downward angle than the host pic.
Non-edit to add: Some of this could be explained by the circulation wear and general flattening. Again, not my area, so grain of salt and all that.
A lot of the 82 O/S exhibit rusted die marks on the reverse eagle wings. If yours have them, then a yes. If not, leaning no.
I suspect its a well worn VAM 5
