There is a known variety of this coin with a double die reverse that also has a mint mark that looks like yours. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

I'll let specialists in die doubling chime in here to get more opinions. Even if the coin does prove to have minor doubling, I agree with nickelsearcher - the mint mark appears to be the result of being re-punched. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time!
