Hello all. this 1974 S is showing a bottom collapse on the Die Mark. Not much else going on this coin, but if it is an RPM I couldn't identify it. The first pic of the mint mark has no overhead light but the second has the overhead lights on. Let me know your thoughts and Regards.

The bottom of the 'S' looks flat and possibly scraped - I think it took a hit. Possible bag mark as Frog states.

I'm good with a post-strike hit/hard rub on the mint mark.

I feel like this is exactly what I've dealt with in my 1960 Roosevelt post and explained in a much more comprehensive way here. Very helpful.

Moved metal on the mintmark. On a RPM, you would see evidence of a second punch. That is not the case with your coin:
