To determine which coin you have it will be necessary to locate the mint mark.

W isn't a standard mint mark for any Mercury dime. 1935 isn't a rare date, so the value is at least $2 for the silver content, and up to $7 in uncirculated condition for Philadelphia, $25 for Denver, and $15 for San Francisco.
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.
The value of a 1923 W dime, typically referred to as the Mercury dime, can vary significantly based on its condition and mint mark.

If the dime has a "W" mint mark, it could indicate a special issue or certain collectible value, so it's advisable to consult a coin dealer or price guide for an accurate assessment.
The "W" on the front of the coin is the monogram of the designer A. A. Weinman. All Mercury Head dimes have this. If the coin shows any wear, the value is about $2.00 just for the silver. It's a very common coin.
