That's off by about 65 years. Mercury dimes were minted from 1916 to 1945. A dime from 1853 would be called a Liberty dime or Liberty Seated dime.
The US never minted a flowing-hair dime. A dime from 1937 would be a Winged Liberty dime, normally called a "Mercury" dime because the wings on Miss Liberty's cap make her resemble the Roman god Mercury. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1937 Mercury dime?" for more information.
Well, first off you don't have a 1918 W Mercury dime, the West Point Mint wouldn't be established for several more years and never produced any coins with a W mintmark for circulation. The W is the designer's initials, any mintmark will be on the reverse. None of the 1918 coins are rare so they are worth the price of silver, assuming they are in circulated condition, which is about $2.11 at the time of writing, if uncirculated it could be worth quite a bit more.
