Please check your coin again and post a new, separate question. The San Francisco Mint was inactive from 1956 to 1964 inclusive, so there are no 1961-S coins of any denomination.

The SF Mint was reactivated to strike Special Mint Sets and some circulating coins beginning with the 1965 dates, but these coins didn't carry mint marks. The S mint mark was resumed on proof coins beginning in 1968. In addition, SF minted some cents and nickels for circulation from 1968 to 1974; all of these also have an S mint mark.
