Pretty much impossible because the West Point Mint didn't start making coins until 1980. A. A. Weinmann broke in to the mint and made about 500 of these mercy dimes with a w for the mint. Depending on the condition. only about 75 of these dimes were recovered after they found out he moved into New Paltz NY and hid them all around the area.

The estimated price of one of these dimes is $100,000,000

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.

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.
