it looks like there is an extra "backward" S to the right of the T on the rim as well.
This tells me TS is a reversed and a mirror image. So it would be PSD damage.

Something is going on the reverse opposite side of trust like an indent strike or damage. A good up close picture of the edge of the rim and the reverse in that area should answer whats going on.

Thanks for that picture. Nice picture by the way, It looks like some kind of damage but then again I really can't tell for sure. Maybe some other members can say what it is.

It looks like damage. The edge of a coin is limited by the shape of the retaining collar. This coin has metal that it outside of the original curve. This is an indication of damage in most cases.

IMHO I agree that this is damage. The upturning process for the rim and the collar die wouldn't leave the coins rim ragged in this area.
