It's called a mint mark and means the nickel was minted in Denver, and was made in 1964 or earlier.
US Coins dated 1965-67 didn't carry mint marks due to the so-called Great Coin Shortage of the 1960s. Mint marks were resumed in 1968 but were moved to the front sides of coins, usually near the date.
Other possible mint marks on modern coins include
- No mint mark or "P" - Philadelphia
- "S" - San Francisco (circulating coins up to 1955 / 1974 depending on denomination, proof coins since 1968)
- "W" - West Point (special collectors' coins only)
