What letter is the West Point mint on pennies?
As you might guess, it's "W". The W mint mark is only used on commemorative and bullion coins.
Interestingly, West Point also struck some circulation cents from 1973 to 1986 but only on an as-needed basis when the Philadelphia and Denver Mints were overloaded. Those cents do not carry a mint mark so that they are indistinguishable from Philly coins. The reason that's done is to avoid creating instant rarities because West Point's capacity is much smaller than the other 2 mints.
