Best Answer

That's the mint mark. It tells where the coin was minted. Many but not all coins carry a mint mark. Coins without a mint mark are from Philadelphia.

S = San Francisco

D = Denver (1906-present)

P = Philadelphia (1980-present, 1942-1945 on nickels)

O = New Orleans

CC = Carson City

plus a few other branch mints that only struck gold coins

1943 penny nickel?

??? Pennies are 1-cent coins, nickels are 5-cent coins. Saying "penny nickel" is like an "inch foot" and doesn't mean anything. Please post a new question after you determine what you have, including its denomination and mint mark (on a cent, there might be a D or S under the date, on a nickel there will be a P, D, or S above the dome of Monticello on the back)
