The 'S' has a slight tilt and is in the position that PCGS recognizes as Die #3.
Hard to tell, but I think there's a dot there in the upper loop of the 'S'. See top photo for comparison.
The lower serif on the 'S' looks tilted right, which would be incorrect. The two outer edges should be parallel to each other, or the lower slightly pointed outwards. But, it's not the best photo and the other indicators are good. Plus, there are a lot of contact marks in this area.
The middle crossbar on the 'B' in V.D.B is tilted correctly.
I'd call it a win and send it in!

Here are descriptions and photos of genuine mint marks and the genuine VDB. The OPs coin looks like the third mint mark position and correct mint mark usage.
