The letter is known as the mint-mark and tells where the coin was made. A coin having a P mint-mark (or no mint-mark on some coins) was made in Philadelphia, a coin having an S Mint-mark was minted in San Fransisco, a coin with a D mint-mark was minted in Denver.

The mint letter on a coin, if any, is located right under the date.
On a US coin, an S mintmark means it was minted in the San Francisco Mint.If it has a D it was made in Denver.If it has no mint mark letter it was made in Philadelphia.
If you mean a "D" under the date, it's not an error, it's the Denver mintmark were the coin was made.
1903 is the year the coin was minted (made)
If you mean no mintmark, it was struck in Philadelphia.

The letter "D" on a coin means Denver. It was minted at the Denver mint. The letter "K" means Dallas on a US Note because the Eleventh Federal Reserve District is in Dallas and "K" is the eleventh letter of the alphabet.
