Silver roosevelt - dropped "S"?

Someone commented about the mintmark on one of the Roosies that I posted in my "$10 and under" thread yesterday.
I wanted to take a closer look at it as well, so I dusted off the dinolite (those things are nice but hard to keep in focus).
Here's a pic I took. When I looked at it on the PC, I noticed something else going on.....it looks like an "S" on the torch.....do others see that or am I imagining things?
I won't point it out, so as to not influence people.

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

The actual MM is so close to the torch, closer than any I have seen, I don't know....

The "s" is real noticeable with the dino. Looked at your other thread to see the year.
I like how the Mint mark is almost on the torch.
Definate keeper.

It was an acquired art, and took time to master.
My guess is that someone tried to line up the puncheon, took a whack, then
realized it was misplaced.
Then it was punched in the correct location, albiet very close to the torch.
Just my guess..........

<< <i>I definitely see the S Ron... Nice find.... could be a 'discovery' find. We could call it the 'Boched S'....
I think I'll call it "Speared BiSonS"

Nice coin you got there Bochi
Two blundered S's
I did that for you, bro
Harry, I see yours. Wouldn't it be nice if they have some worth in their "cool" value and were designatable?

Does any service note these on the holders? I doubt PCGS would (and, I'm not looking for a speared bison rerun, just getting it noted without a super name
Not sure about ngc.
I don't like anacs, but if they would, it would be tempting.....
It will be self-slabbed if no reputable service would slab it with the annotation.
It isn't really an "error", is it? So the error guys wouldn't be any help, would they?
