The "S" is the mint mark for the US Mint at San Francisco, California. All US Mint facilities place their own letter, which identifies them, on nearly all of the coins they mint. The larger than normal mint marks on the "war nickels" were placed there to indicate the coins were of a different alloy than previous nickels, containing 35% silver instead of nickel.
