This is an interesting coin.
I'd also like pics of the whole coin and maybe some pics of the word TRUST. Although it is likely a die chip, it reminds me of the 1944 doubled die, WDDO-022, that has an extra nine between the 2nd and 3rd digit.
Did an overlay of your 1952-S:


Overlay for 1944 WDDO-022:


Both have same offset and rotation that would be caused by a Class V rotation from a pivot on the rim around 1:30. The extra nine on 1944 WDDO-022 is soft and round, unlike your 1952-S, which makes me lean towards die chip. 1944 WDDO-022 also has doubling on the word TRUST and a doubled eyelid which, I believe, resulted from the same hubbing as the extra nine. So, if your 1952-S is a doubled die, it should also have doubling on the eyelid and/or TRUST.
Maybe I'm crazy thinking about this having any possibility of being a doubled die, but it shares some similarities to the 1944 doubled die.
I'd like to see pics of TRUST and the eyelid.
