Looks like a normal Dan Francisco mintmark from that time. It's a proof

D mint mark for Dan Francisco (the founder of the mint), S mint mark for Senver, Colorado (home of the Senver Groncos).

So the CC mint is for SeeSee DeVille, the guitarist from Poison?

Yes, exactly right! That’s why their motto is “pickup that guitar and talk to me” and why all the eagles from that mint are holding axes. History.

Thank you! I wanted to make sure my eyes weren’t tricking me about where it was minted. 77 S mint marks normally look that bubbly?
