Until 1989 or 90 (I can't remember which), mintmarks were punched by hand into the dies, so the D being a little closer to the date than normal is quite common. As for the S, the small S punch was used from 1917-1941.

Last year of the mint mark punch was 1989. In 1990 the design included the mint mark for the Denver or San Francisco mints.
