The face value is $.10...but to a collector, in uncirculated condition, it has recently sold between $11 and $25.
The "W" is part of the monogram of the designer A. A. Weinmann. At that time there was (a) no mint at West Point and (b) nearly all coins had their mint marks on the reverse side, unlike modern coins. Mercury dimes had their mint mark in the space to the right of the word ONE on the dime's back. For a 1923 dime it will either be blank or have a small "S". If it's blank, the coin might retail for $2 to $5 depending on condition. If it has an "S", the value could be up to $50 if only slightly worn.
It will point to the west.

They are related becasue they descibe a point on the coordinate. The X coordinate determine if the direction is east or west. If it is in negatives, the point is west and if in the positives, it is in the east. The Y coordinates determine if a point is north or south. If it is in the negatives, the point is south and if it is in the positives, the point is in the north. For example if the X coordinate is 5 and the y coordinate is -15, the point would be 5 degrees east and 15 degrees south. I hope this helped.
That would be pretty difficult, considering that the West Point Mint wasn't opened until 1988 and only ever struck dimes in 1996. You're looking at the monogram of the designer A. A. Weinmann. The mint mark, if there is one, is on the back near the word ONE. If your dime has no mint mark or an S, it's worth $2 to $5 in average condition (prices as of 06/2008) 1917 dimes with a D are scarcer and sell for $4 to $20
West Point Grey Academy was created in 1996.
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.
The "W" you see is the designer's monogram, Adolph Weinman not a West Point mintmark. All Mercury dimes have it. Mintmarks for this series of dimes are on the reverse to the right of the "E" in the word "ONE". 1920 is a common date and most coins are valued just for the silver at $1.00.
Special dimes were struck at the West Point Mint to honor the Roosevelt dime's 50th anniversary in 1996. They were only issued in collectors' sets and have the distinction of being the only circulation-design coins to carry the W mint mark(*). Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 03/2010: Almost no wear - $4.10 Uncirculated - $9.20 to $96.25 depending on quality (*) The West Point Mint does occasionally strike cents when demand is high, but they're made without a mint mark and are indistinguishable from Philadelphia cents.
At Philadelphia (no mint mark, or P) and Denver (D) from 1946 to the present At San Francisco (S) from 1946 to 1955 At West Point (W) only for inclusion in special collectors' sets, 1996 only.
W is the designer's initial (A. A. Weinman) The West Point Mint opened in the 1980s.The mint mark position on all Mercury dimes is on the back, next to the E in ONE. Check the Related Question for more information.
That's not a mint mark. It's the monogram of the designer A.A. Weinmann. The West Point Mint did not open until the 1980s and only strikes commemorative coins and cents. Mercury dimes had their mint mark in the space to the right of the word ONE on the dime's back. For a 1942 dime it will either be blank (Phila.) or have a small "S" for San Francisco, or a "D" for Denver.
"W" isn't a mint mark. The West Point Mint didn't start making coins until the 1980s. It's the initials of the coin's designer - an intertwined A W for A. Weinman. Please see the Related Question for values.
W is the monogram of the designer, A. A. Weinman. Mint marks were on the backs of most coins up till 1968 and in any case the West Point Mint didn't exist in 1942. Please see the Related Question.
It stands for West Point. A mint was established there in 1988 for the production of gold and silver bullion coins and commemoratives. The West Point Mint normally does not produce circulation coins. It has occasionally manufactured cents, but without a mint mark, to avoid creating instant rarities, when Philadelphia and Denver needed additional capacity. In addition it struck a special dime to honor the coin's 50th anniversary in 1996.
The only US dimes ever minted at West Point were issued in 1996 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Roosevelt design. They were only available to collectors and weren't put into circulation, although it's possible some "escaped" if someone broke open the package they came it. As of 06/2011 these coins sell for $3 to $45 depending on quality. But if you're referring to a Mercury dime, the "W" on the front isn't a mint mark at all. It's the initial of the coin's designer, A. A. Weinman, and is on ALL Mercury dimes so it doesn't affect their value in any way. What matters is the coins' dates, mint marks, and conditions. Please check out questions in the form "What is the value of a <date> Mercury dime?" for specific values.
