It looks like a ball serif mint mark style. MMS-006

Circulation may have flattened it a bit. But the mint marks are punched into the die and if the alignment is not exact, then it can be deeper than normal making the mint mark look wider/taller. If there was a separation between the punches, then it be called a RPM. But this one is just fuller shaped.

Note the shape of this mint mark. The doubling is not on the mint mark, but in the field SE of the mint mark.

Also you can get handheld microscopes for 20-30 $ on ebay that are great for pictures. Takes about a day of playing around to really get used to it but I was very happy when I got one by Celestron 2.0 handheld micrscope. 2.0 meaning it plugs into a USB so you need a computer of course probably works on tablet to but I don't own one I wouldn't know :)
