It is definitely not mint-made. That being said, I don't know the exact cause of the damage.
I'm gonna say die 4 on this one. A strong class IV+IIX doubled die. Nice find! just to confirm it, check markers on coppercoins.com.

I just checked my Cherrypickers guide, and it still looks like that the OPs coin is a small S....
