It's an S, and the marks look like denticle impressions (from where the edge of a coin is hit into the surface of yours, common in bagged Morgans.)

Paralyze is correct. And morgans with that level of wear are not able to be vammed 95% of the time. It all depends on either a prominent feature like the 88o hot lips or possibly by date & mm positions as almost all but the strongest die markers are usually gone with that level of wear

Bag mark from the rim of the coin.

S mint mark set high narrows the choices to VAMs 10, 11 and 13. A picture of the date will narrow it down further and possibly identify it.
