Its not in the right location to be a mint mark. On the 1892-S the mint mark is slightly more to the left. They moved it moved to the right on later dates.

That looks like its in Great shape!

My first Barber Quarter was actually an 1892-S . Its pretty much dead center under the tail of the Eagle

You're right, it's strange because it really appears to have an "S" form. It must just be some sort of toning/blemish.
