Thinking damage, but an even closer pic would help.

@CT, yes close-up pics are tough. See below for the best I can do enlarging and enhancing your current pics.

For reference, here is a link to the VarietyVista page that would cover this type of RPM or OMM. I'm only seeing a D/D for 1974.

it is an "s" mint mark, looks like it took a hit on the top of the s and pushed the metal down.

Looks to me like @agwolf nailed it, but I'm interested to hear what others think.

Spence, it does look damaged, but it's so strange! And thanks for the link! I sent him an email with picture attachment, maybe he'll respond, you never know. Thanks again.
