The West Point Mint only ever struck dimes in one year - 1996, to mark the 50th anniversary of the Roosevelt dime.

The "W" that appears on Mercury dimes and Walking Liberty halves is not a mint mark. It's the monogram of A. A. Weinman who designed those coins. In fact, the West Point Mint didn't exist at the time those two coins were issued.

Please use the site's Search function to look for many other similar questions. The W is not a mint mark, it's part of the designer's monogram (A over W, for A. Weinmann). Depending on its condition and actual mint mark, your dime might be worth $1 to $2. Almost all coins minted before 1968 had their mint marks on the reverse side. On a Mercury dime, the mint mark - if there is one - would be located to the right of the word ONE. If there's no mark, it came from Philadelphia; a D means Denver and an S means San Francisco. FWIW, the West Point mint didn't open until the 1980s so a Mercury dime couldn't have a W mint mark in any case.
