Lincoln Cent-Possible MM die crack.

This mint mark looks nothing like MMS-002 that should be on this coin. Would it most likely have been a die crack that caused part of the upper s to be filled and elliminating the upper serif?

What happen to your coin and the MM was damaged from circulation post mint damage it looks like that .

It looks like it was created by the die, whether it was deteriorated or machine doubling. See arrows.

 

I am agreeing with what has been stated and just restating:
The heavy die flow lines indicates a late die state and some DDD coupled with what was likely a hit or push on the upper serif of the MM.

 

Thanks for the advice all. That's why I post these here!
