The "s" is the mint mark, or which mint struck the coin.

S= San Francisco

D= Denver

(no mark) or P=Philadelphia

O=New Orleans

CC=Carson City (Nevada)

C= Charlotte (North Carolina)

There was also another D mint mark which was Dalonoga, Georgia. Both Charlotte and Dalonoga were in use before the Civil War and taken over by the Confederacy, along with the mint in New Orleans. The Charlotte mint was actually the first mint to strike gold coins with the first gold discovered in in the US, also in North Carolina.
