It's, well, a small letter S located somewhere on a coin that was minted in San Francisco.
It can appear in various places depending on the coin's date and denomination. On coins minted since 1968 (mostly proofs for collectors, but some cents and nickels) it's near the date. On older coins it's usually on the back side, but you have to check a guidebook or site like Coinfacts.com to know exactly where it's hidden in the design.
