It would be extremely unlikely that you'd find a West Point coin in circulation. That mint only makes commemoratives and bullion coins that are sold to collectors. The only exceptions were special 1996-W dimes included in Mint sets; there are also occasional runs of cents when Philadelphia and Denver are maxed out but those coins are made without mint marks so they look just like Philly cents.
If you see a "W" on the front of older coins such as Mercury dimes and Walking Liberty halves, it's the monogram of the coins' designer A. A. Weinman, and not a mint mark. The mint mark position is on the back side of those coins.
