Best Answer

The "S" on the 1950 wheatback penny is the mint mark, for the San Francisco Mint. You might find the initials "VDB" on the back of some. Those are the initials of the person who designed the coin, Victor David Brenner. Should you find a 1909 "S" "VDB" penny, you have found a VERY rare coin as there were few minted.
