Best Answer

A "W" mint mark on a US coin indicates it was struck at the West Point Mint.

West Point only strikes commemorative and bullion coins, so you won't find W-mint coins in circulation.

The only possible exception might be the special dimes that were minted in 1996 to honor the coin's 50th anniversary. They were sold only to collectors, but it's possible a few may have accidentally been spent.

Where do you find the mint mark on an 1879 coin?

Normally you have to know a coin's denomination to locate the mint mark because it can be in different places. Also, Philadelphia did not use a mint mark on most coins until 1980 so it's very possible your coin doesn't have a mint mark. Once you know the denomination you can check a site such as www.coinfacts.com that shows the mint mark locations for all US coins.
