The D after the date indicates that it was minted in the Denver Mint. An S stands for San Francisco. Higher-denomination coins also have a P for Philadelphia. Cents do not use a P because the sometimes the West Point Mint strikes (comparatively) small numbers of cents when Philadelphia can't keep up with demand. The government doesn't want to create instant rarities, so neither Philadelphia nor West Point cents have mint marks, and you can't tell them apart.
