These are the seller's pics? Even if genuine, the coin appears scratched on the reverse, spotted on the obverse, and of questionable color. No way I'd even consider buying from these pics.

The seller openly says it is a cleaning.

Yes looks like a very suspicious mintmark. Personally, I'd stay away from this one.

The bottom tail is too long and there seems to be tooling markings around it. Also overall funny shape.

It is either added or "chased". Chased means metal was either removed or moved in order to create the S.
